ABA Therapy
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a type of behavioral therapy that focuses on improving specific behaviors and skills by using positive reinforcement and other behavioral techniques. ABA therapy is commonly used to treat individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders, as well as those with behavioral or social-emotional difficulties. ABA therapy is typically conducted one-on-one with a trained therapist or behavior technician and is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. It can be provided in a variety of settings, including homes, schools, clinics, and other community settings.
