ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA therapy is an effective therapy for children on the autism spectrum. Our therapists will use the principles of ABA therapy to analyze behavior, including environmental influences and how behavior is reinforced. ABA therapy is useful for shaping speech and language, appropriate social skills, activities of daily living, academic skills, and more. ABA therapy can be intensive. Programs may range from 3 hours per week up to 40 hours per week. In-network insurance reimbursement is an option through Anthem at this time. Services provided to families:
