what is ABA?

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is the science of learning and behavior. ABA is typically the therapy of choice for children and young adults with Autism and other developmental disabilities.

ABA has many benefits such as:

-improving language and communication skills

-decreasing ineffective behaviors in a social environment (screaming, aggression, property destruction, etc.)

-improving academic and social skills for school

-improving independence when it comes to daily living skills (toileting, teeth brushing, etc.)

I have worked in the clinical setting as a behavioral therapist who provides 1-on-1 ABA to children with Autism for over a year now. I just accepted a job to do residential (in home) therapy!
