ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a type of therapy that helps young children build important life skills through positive reinforcement and play-based learning.
It focuses on areas such as:● Communication (using words, gestures, or pictures)● Social skills (like sharing, taking turns, or making eye contact)● Daily routines (such as following directions, getting dressed, or brushing teeth)● Reducing challenging behaviors in a supportive, individualized way
ABA therapy is personalized to each child’s unique needs and abilities. Therapists work closely with families to create a plan that targets the specific skills your child needs to learn, building on their strengths. Skills are broken down into small, manageable steps and taught through repetition, encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
ABA is often used with young children who show signs of developmental delays or autism, and always aims to build on each child’s strengths in a consistent, supportive way.
