How Can ABA Therapy Help My Child With Autism?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based discipline that strives to understand and improve significant behaviors.

ABA looks at how people interact with their environment. It helps us understand how the environment affects a person’s behavior.

Decades of research show that ABA is a very effective treatment for children with autism. Many respected organizations, like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institute of Mental Health, recognize its success.

Have Questions About Autism or ASD?

Our FAQ section provides in-depth answers to some common questions. If your question isn’t answered below, view our full list of FAQs here.

Although everyone with ASD is unique in their own way, people with ASD share some common experiences. According to the DSM, which defines mental and behavioral health disorders, the core symptoms of ASD include:

The cause of autism or ASD is unknown. People of all races, nationalities, and socioeconomic statuses can experience autism.

Autism is not generally something to be cured. Some of the traits of ASD that a person experiences can be changed to help that person improve their quality of life. A person with autism can learn strategies and new behaviors that can help them improve specific areas of their life. However, a person with autism will have the condition for their lifetime.

  • Children are generally screened for autism by their primary care physician.
  • If autism spectrum disorder (ASD) signs are suspected, the doctor often refers the child to a specialist.
  • The specialist conducts an assessment to evaluate and diagnose ASD.
    • This assessment includes:
    • Observing the child’s behaviors.
    • Engaging the child in directed activities.
    • Interviewing the child’s parents.
  • The autism assessment focuses on several areas:
    • Communication and language skills.
    • Social skills.
    • Daily living skills.
    • Behavioral issues.
    • Sensory processing issues.

Signs of autism can sometimes be identified in children as young as one year old or even earlier for some children. Some kids may meet typical developmental milestones in the first year of life and then lose skills they previously learned in the second or third year of life.

Treatment for autism should begin as soon as possible. Treatment for ASD can help reduce the challenges the individual experiences in their current and future life.

ABA therapy, or applied behavior analysis, also known as ABA, is a treatment based on the science of behavior and learning. ABA aims to help people improve their lives by focusing on treatment goals important to their quality of life.

We work closely with each family to assess children’s needs, develop individualized treatment plans and educate parents on how they can support their child at home. In this guide, we introduce our services, how they work and how they can help your child thrive.
