What Is ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA Therapy) for Children with Autism — Sherman Oaks, CA

ABA therapy is a science-based approach that helps children improve communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing behaviors that interfere with learning. Each program is individualized to meet your child’s unique needs and goals.

ABA Therapy Can Help With:
  • Communication & Language: Expanding vocabulary and expressing needs effectively
  • Social Skills: Building friendships, sharing, and taking turns
  • Behavior Management: Reducing tantrums, aggression, or self-injury
  • Learning & Focus: Increasing attention, motivation, and cooperation
  • Daily Living Skills: Dressing, brushing teeth, eating independently, and following routines
How It Works:
  1. Assessment: A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) evaluates your child’s needs and strengths.
  2. Personalized Plan: A treatment plan with specific, measurable goals is created.
  3. Therapy Sessions: A trained Behavior Technician works one-on-one with your child under BCBA supervision.
  4. Parent Involvement: Families learn strategies to support progress at home.
  5. Progress Monitoring: Data is reviewed regularly to celebrate growth and adjust goals as needed.

At Emerald Behavioral Services, we believe that every small step leads to big changes.

Through compassion and teamwork, we help children build confidence, independence, and lifelong skills.
