Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy

What is ABA?

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the science of studying human behavior. It came about in the early 1900s. John Watson, B.F. Skinner, and Ivan Pavlov are just a few of ABA’s founding fathers.

ABA refers to the term “behavior” as “any response that can be observed and measured.” Applied behavior analysis therapy uses the principles of behavior to increase and decrease specific behaviors.

What’s Happening in ABA?

School is a big step for children with autism. We’re want to make that step smaller. That’s why we offer a supplementary course to prep children for their first day to school.

How can ABA help my child?

Applied Behavior Analysis therapy can be implemented in any environment such as the clinic, the home, at school and in the community. At NSPT, an Applied Behavior Analysis treatment package will be created by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). After the BCBA completes an extensive evaluation, the BCBA will create an individualized treatment that will best fit the needs of your child. Your child will receive 1:1 therapy along with ongoing analysis of his progress to ensure he is continuing to progress and succeed.

Behaviors that ABA therapy helps increase:

Language (i.e., requesting, tact/expressive, listening responder/receptive, following directions)
Imitation skills
Gross/fine motor skills
Visual/perceptual skills (e.g., puzzles, matching, sorting)
Activities of daily living (e.g., toileting, dressing, and brushing teeth)
Social and independent play skills
Community skills (e.g., crossing the street safely, grocery shopping and cooking)
Reading
