Our Services
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) helps identify the reasons behind your child’s behaviors — what triggers them and what your child may be trying to communicate.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps children learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviors using positive, supportive teaching methods. It focuses on understanding why behaviors happen and how to encourage meaningful, lasting change.
Adaptive Skills Training (AST) helps children and teens develop the everyday skills they need to be more independent and confident—from self-care to social interaction.
Our Parent Training program helps parents and caregivers learn effective strategies to support their child’s progress at home and in daily life. We work together to create consistency, build confidence, and make positive changes that last.
Not sure where to start? Schedule a free 1-hour consultation with one of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). We’ll take time to understand your child’s needs, answer your questions, and guide you through how ABA therapy can help.
Domains Addressed in ABA therapy
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a natural science that studies functional relations between behavior and environmental events (Cooper, 2007). In other words, it studies how the environment impacts behavior change. It focuses on observable and measurable behavior. The discipline aims to help individuals meet long-term outcomes so that they are more independent in life. This is accomplished by increasing socially significant behavior; while, decreasing or eliminating maladaptive (problematic) behavior that most likely hinders the individual’s ability to live an independent and functional life. All interventions, procedures, and strategies applied in the field of ABA are evidence-based and have demonstrated effectiveness in changing behavior in living organisms.
