Our ABA therapy programs are designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder. We use evidence-based practices to help children develop communication, social, and behavioral skills.
What Is Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a practice based on the science that studies behavior. It consists of individualized behavior intervention plans used to teach and increase socially significant behaviors, and to decrease the ones that are detrimental to the individual’s life or impede learning
Who provides ABA

​​​What is the goal of the ABA education plan?
Our goal is to provide your child with all the tools necessary to succeed in the community, at school, and at home. Whether it is to learn appropriate social skills, develop everyday basic life skills, manage their stress response, or establish focus and attention in school.
What should I do after my child receives An ASD diagnosis
After your child receives an official diagnosis from a qualified professional, you will request them to make a referral to our ABA clinic, next, you will complete an intake package.
After completing an intake package, we will schedule an initial Assessment.
Initial Assessment
The initial assessment is completed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst - BCBA. The BCBA uses assessment tools to evaluate your child’s developmental milestones showing areas of weakness and strengths. The visit will be in person and take approximately 2 hours. During the visit, the BCBA will interact with your child by playing and presenting toys; they will also be asked to perform some tasks. Additionally, a parent questionnaire will be completed to obtain important information about your child. After the in-person visit, the BCBA will score the assessment and write a behavior intervention plan with goals and strategies to teach your child.
