What is ABA therapy for Autism?

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based method that can be helpful for children with autism. There are times when children on the autism spectrum interact differently with their environment than other children, which can cause them to face challenges daily.

The benefits of ABA therapy include:

  • Behavior Management: Teaches children effective ways to manage and regulate their behaviors in various life situations.
  • Understanding of Appropriate Behavior: Helps children distinguish between appropriate and less desirable behaviors, promoting better decision-making.
  • Skill Development: Aids in acquiring crucial skills like communication and socialization, enhancing daily life interactions.
  • Easier Adjustment: Provides strategies that assist children in adapting more comfortably to their surroundings and everyday challenges.

Benefits of ABA Therapy

Children in ABA therapy and their parents can benefit from the strategies and skills taught during therapy sessions. What your child learns will help them become more confident and independent, letting them enjoy new experiences and gain opportunities as they grow up.

Advantages of ABA therapy for children with autism and their families include:

One of ABA’s focus areas is an emphasis on social skills. We’re talking about those crucial abilities your child needs, whether they’re at home, in school, or out in the community.

ABA provides opportunities for children with autism to manage their behaviors, including self-injury or aggression. In therapy, your child will learn how to handle situations that upset them so that they cope in a healthier way when they’re overwhelmed.

Your child will also learn key developmental skills in ABA therapy to improve their lifestyle. In addition to social and communication skills, ABA can teach foundational skills, helping kids with autism gain more independence. They can learn to perform daily tasks like using the bathroom independently, brushing their teeth, and getting ready for school.

Our ABA centers near you provide a safe and supportive environment for your child to participate in ABA therapy sessions. Our professionals ensure your child is comfortable while learning and practicing new skills.

In addition to supporting your child, we provide you with essential resources to help you reinforce what your child learns during their therapy sessions. It’s a collaborative effort that empowers both you and your child for ongoing growth and adaptation. ABA therapy for autism will help your children acquire the skills they need to succeed in the future.

ABA Therapy Principles

ABA therapy derives from the principles of behavior. These principles help children with autism make sense of behaviors and how they should respond depending on what’s happening around them. The four behavior principles include:

  • Your surroundings matter: The places and people around you can influence how you behave.
  • Actions have consequences: What happens after a behavior can encourage or discourage it from happening again.
  • Positivity wins: Positive reinforcement and rewards are more effective at changing behaviors.
  • Consistency is key: Behaviors must be encouraged or discouraged regularly to see real change.

At Behavioral Innovations, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists utilize these important behavioral principles to identify your child’s unique strengths and challenges and create an ABA treatment plan for their specific needs.

My son was diagnosed with moderate severity of Autism early last year. He started ABA therapy in August of 2024, just before his 4th birthday. We are amazed at the progress he’s made since starting with Behavioral Innovations! We’ve seen huge improvements in so many things, including speech, potty training, and just general day-to-day interactions with others. They keep us informed on everything that happened during the day while he’s there.  We are truly thankful for all the work they continue to do to help my son progress in life.
