Applied Behavior

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a particular type of therapy that seeks to increase specific desirable behaviors and decrease undesirable behaviors through research-based behavioral principles.

ABA is geared toward achieving socially important goals, helping the client to be more successful in a natural setting such as homes, schools, and communities.  Parents work together with the ABA therapist  to establish goals and subsequent plans to meet those goals.

As a small private organization, we are not a provider of BHRS/ Provider 50/ Wrap around services. Instead, our behavior specialist is integrated into our therapy model and works with the therapy team and parents alike to guide treatment plans.
