ABA Explained
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of behavior and learning. It is deemed medically essential for people with autism. ABA therapy can be given at home, school, and in a clinic.
ABA therapy involves working with a trained healthcare professional called a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), who teaches the child/adult with autism to adopt learning skills like brushing teeth, getting dressed, and making a meal, as part of their daily living. ABA therapy also focuses on building social skills and reducing challenging behaviors.
Who Can Benefit from ABA Therapy?
Anybody who has difficulty carrying a conversation, has limited daily living skills, has moderate to severe problem behaviors, has limited language or social skills, or needs extra help with academic skills, can benefit from ABA therapy.

Communication
Adaptive Daily Life Skills
ABA therapy progressively builds independence, working on skills such as safety awareness, toilet training, executive functioning and, for older individuals, skills that help with job competence.
Social/Emotional Skills
A few social skills that can be difficult for children on the spectrum, and that ABA therapy can help with, are understanding social cues, following rules and taking turns.
Reducing Problem Behaviors
Children on the spectrum can exhibit a number of problem behaviors that ABA therapy works to reduce, over time, such as difficulty with following rules or directions, tantrums, self-injury or aggression.
