ABA Team
Applied Behavior Analysis, better known as ABA, targets well-researched skill areas that make up the key components to building social interactions and independence in children. We aim to understand and improve a child’s behavior in a functional manner while continuing to celebrate their individuality and improve their quality of life. Our ABA center is designed to be a school and community preparatory program to improve children’s ability to successfully learn and engage in various settings. We currently service ages 2-8 for ABA services. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are trained in ABA treatment procedures and oversee all treatment processes. Treatment is performed one-on-one with a trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). A strong caregiver education component is also provided.
