Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the use of behavioral principles to everyday situations with the goal of either increasing or decreasing targeted behavior. This includes increasing and teaching language, self-help skills, leisure/social skills, and school readiness!
We use research based ABA strategies such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Training (NET), and Differential Reinforcement procedures to teach and strengthen new skills. Our data analysis drives our decision-making so families can rest assured that
Effective ABA programs require a group of clinical professionals with specialized training and certification within the field. Our centers are comprised of:
- Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA)
- Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBA)
- Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT)

Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and language therapy provides treatment and support for individuals with communication difficulties. Our program offers assessment and treatment in conjunction with our ABA services for children in order to increase effective communication and speech articulation.
The professionals who are educated to assess speech and language development and to treat speech and language disorders are called speech-language pathologists (SLP).
