ABA BASICS
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to teaching skills in small, measurable steps. It’s commonly used to support communication, independence, and social learning—while celebrating progress along the way.

HOW IT WORKS
Practical, individualized, data-informed
Assessment & goals
We identify strengths and priority needs, then set clear goals that make sense for everyday life.
Teaching in steps
Skills are taught step-by-step with supports that fade as independence grows.
Measure progress
We track outcomes so you can see what’s working and adjust the plan as your child develops.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Your questions, answered
How many hours per week?
It depends on the assessment, goals, and what insurance authorizes. Many families start with a moderate schedule and adjust over time.
Where do sessions happen?
Often at home, in the community, or other natural environments—so skills generalize to real life.
Do caregivers get support?
Yes—caregiver coaching is a key part of building progress that lasts beyond sessions.
