Frequently Asked Questions

What is ABA and how does it work?

Applied behavior analysis is an evidence-based therapy where individualized teaching strategies are systematically used to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree. ABA focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and uses individualized, positive teaching strategies to increase communication, social, play, daily living, and independence skills while reducing behaviors that interfere with learning and participation. At our center, every treatment plan is personalized to each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals, with a strong emphasis on collaboration with families to promote lasting progress across home, school, and community settings.

What does an ABA session look like?

Every ABA session is personalized to your child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. Sessions combine structured teaching with play-based learning to build communication, social, daily living, and independence skills in a fun and supportive environment. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) develop individualized treatment plans, and Behavior Technicians (BTs) provide one-on-one therapy while collecting data to monitor progress. As your child grows and develops, the session structure is continually adjusted to ensure meaningful outcomes.

How does ABA help build social interaction skills?

Through individualized ABA therapy, we help children learn important social skills such as sharing, taking turns, initiating conversations, understanding social cues, cooperative play, and overall, how to develop meaningful interactions with others. To promote the generalization of these skills, we frequently provide opportunities to practice in other settings through supervised community outings. Whether visiting a local playground, swim lessons, library, or grocery store, children at out center have the opportunity to apply the social skills they are learning in natural environments.
