What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of therapy used to decrease inappropriate behavior and increase appropriate behavior.
The main goal of ABA Therapy is to help children increase their communication and language abilities, improve attention and game capacity, as well as their social, motor and self help skills.
It can also help parents and caregivers learn day-to-day strategies to be able to manage challenging behaviors they see within the home.
One of the methods is using reinforcement to increase the likelihood of a certain behavior happening again in the future. Behavior is a product of its consequences, in other words, the events that immediately follow the behavior. Therefore, Behavior Analysts analyze these events that follow the behavior to understand why it is occurring and thus modify the consequences of said behavior. When behavior is reinforced by its consequences, and followed by something that is valued (a reward), the individual is more likely to repeat that behavior. Over time, this encourages positive behavior change.
ABA Services

This is an ideal way to teach skills including daily routines, potty training, feeding, getting dressed, and other self-care skills such as brushing hair/teeth, bathing, etc.

A community setting can be appropriate for the child if they benefit from learning in a less structured and controlled naturalistic environment, and/or if the inappropriate behavior manifested occurs more frequently in the community setting.

How to Get Started
This is the process for you and your child to have the help you need and begin your journey:
If you recognize warning signs in your child, you should go to a Neurologist, Neurodevelopmental Psychologist or Psychiatrist, who will perform a diagnosis.
Once your child has an official diagnosis report from a qualified professional and a referral letter from a doctor, we assess your child’s behavior and skills.
We build a personalized behavior plan based on its results, to improve their communication and skills, and reduce undesirable behavior.
FAQs
What does ABA involve?
Programs based on ABA generally involve an assessment of the child’s current skills and difficulties, setting and measuring goals, and making any changes as required.
Is ABA effective?
ABA therapy is endorsed by the American Psychological Association and the U.S. Surgeon General. It shows high rates of success in helping people with autism, ADHD and other behavior disorders to improve communication and socialization skills, achieve more independence, and reduce undesirable behavior.
Do I have to take my child to where you are?
It is not necessary. We offer our services in different settings according to the needs of the child. They can be done at home, at school, in the community, and if necessary, at our center.

It depends on each individual case. This will be determined once the initial assessment is done.
