Applied Behavior Analysis
ABA Therapy is an evidenced-based therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding behavior and how it is impacted by the environment while supporting individuals in developing essential and meaningful skills. While rooted in science, our approach to ABA therapy prioritizes respect for each individual's dignity and autonomy. We believe that effective ABA must be compassionate, flexible, and tailored to the unique needs, values, and goals of each person and their family. Our focus is on creating meaningful outcomes that enhance quality of life—not just in therapy, but in everyday living.
Our Approach Integrates:
*Individualized Treatment: Goals are tailored to each person's developmental level, interests, and family priorities.
*Naturalistic and Play-Based Learning: Skills are taught through everyday activities and play to encourage real-world use and generalization of skills.
*Functional Communication: We emphasize the development of effective and meaningful communication, whether verbal or through alternative systems.
*Positive Reinforcement: Desired behaviors are encouraged through prioritizing supportive and motivating strategies.
*Collaboration: Families and caregivers are essential partners in treatment, and therapy is built around their involvement and feedback. A team approach is necessary to adequately support each other.
*Compassion and Respect: We uphold the highest ethical standards, ensuring that therapy is conducted in a way that honors the individual’s identity, autonomy, and lived experience.
