Autism Behavior Intervention
Autism behavior intervention uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children develop positive behaviors and reduce behaviors that interfere with learning and daily life. Through structured teaching, clear expectations, and positive reinforcement, children learn skills step by step while working toward meaningful developmental goals. Programs are individualized to address the unique needs and strengths of each child.
Discovery & Transformation
Changing the behavior of a child on the autism spectrum begins by discovering the underlying source of that behavior. Undesirable or challenging behaviors in children typically occurs as the result of the desire to either avoid or have something. In autistic children, a common response to a healthy experience can appear exaggerated or odd.
Applied behavioral analysis, or ABA, is a very effective means of teaching your child for several reasons. It is a structured reward-consequence system that offers consistency when rewarding or giving consequences to your child. ABA also facilitates understanding by making appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, and their respective rewards and consequences, clear.
Prioritizing Achievable Goals
ABA focuses on teaching your child appropriate behavior via small, achievable goals which eventually culminate in the meeting of significant goals. Your child receives positive reinforcement for each step they complete. The result is positive behavior over the long term.
