ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. 

​

     It is a service that can help children with Autism and other developmental disabilities learn new skills.  Even though it has the word “behavior” in the title, ABA is not just a service to work on behaviors…although most children (and many of us adults, too) have some undesired behaviors to work on. 

 

Here are some of the things that an ABA

provider can work on with your child: 

​

1.        Language skills (talking, answering questions)

​

2.       social skills (playing with other children, interacting with family,                  and understanding the world around us)

​

3.       self-help skills (dressing, eating, brushing teeth, going potty, etc.)

​

4.       Undesired behavior (melt-downs, hurting him/herself, hurting                    others, etc).
