Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA) Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach that focuses on socially significant behaviors and utilizes evidence based strategies to teach our children replacement behaviors. ABA is effective for individuals in a variety of settings.  Research has demonstrated that intensive ABA therapy has been shown to significantly improve behaviors and decrease the need for services. ABA utilizes a systematic approach where skill sets are broken down into steps in order for the child to progress and learn the target goal. Each client at Autism Matters has an individualized treatment plan that focuses on the goals and needs of that specific child. Within our ABA program, Autism Matters strives to ensure your child will retain the skill sets they are taught and to generalize their skills to other people and settings.
