Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy Services
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy uses social and environmental modification to teach new skills and promote positive behaviors in children with autism and other developmental disorders. ABA is widely recognized as the best method of caring for individuals with ASD by industry authorities including the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the National Institute of Mental Health.
What is ABA Therapy? What Does it Do?
ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific discipline that uses techniques like positive reinforcement, prompting, and task analysis to address behavioral issues and teach new life skills. It focuses on improving communication, social interaction, self-care, and academics for children with autism (ASD) and other developmental disorders. By breaking down complex skills into much more manageable steps, ABA therapy helps children achieve significant milestones in their development.
This evidence-based approach has been shown to improve language, social skills, adaptive behaviors, and reduce problem behaviors, contributing to long-term success and increased independence for individuals with developmental challenges.
Why is ABA Therapy the Most Effective Treatment?
With hundreds of peer-reviewed studies over the last half-century, research shows that trained professionals using ABA therapy consistently improve autism outcomes. Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) assess children’s needs and create individualized treatment plans. These treatment plans plus early intervention provide some of the highest success rates.
Each program is customized for the child, ensuring effective and developmentally appropriate strategies. ABA therapy work takes time and family involvement. Our team helps family members practice therapy skills and target behavior in a supportive environment. The individualized, evidence-based approach makes ABA highly effective for children with autism.
A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst will identify and target behavior that interferes with learning and socializing. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board sets certification requirements for Board-Certified Behavior Analysts and ensures well-trained and supervised therapists. We also consult with cross-disciplinary professionals to provide supplementary support for families within our ABA therapy programs.
The staff at our CAN Alpharetta location are dedicated to the crucial role of delivering high-quality applied behavior analysis treatment to address prescribed goal behavior. We strive to provide long term therapy that is sensitive to your child’s ability level.
