What is ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy, short for Applied Behavior Analysis, uses principles of learning and behavior to help children develop practical skills for everyday life. Treatment combines individualized assessment, teaching strategies, reinforcement, and ongoing progress monitoring.
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA, uses assessment findings to develop goals based on the child’s needs and family priorities. Goals may address communication, play, daily routines, transitions, independence, and behavior-related needs.
Your family should understand why each goal matters, how progress will be measured, and when the plan will be reviewed or adjusted.

ABA therapy goals can focus on skills that matter in your child’s daily life, from asking for help to participating in play, routines, and learning.
