What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is widely recognized as the most effective behavioral intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD / Autism). It’s a scientific method for understanding and improving behavior that is important to society. It’s based on the principles of behavior and is used to help people learn and apply new skills in their daily lives. The goal of ABA is to improve the lives, functioning, and independence of clients and their families.
