What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by environmental factors. ABA therapy is used to promote positive outcomes in individuals with a wide range of behavioral, social, and communication challenges, including but not limited to children on the autism spectrum.

ABA therapy focuses on identifying the environmental factors that contribute to behavior, developing strategies to reduce problem behaviors, and teaching new skills to promote positive behaviors. At Diligent Behavioral Solutions, our ABA therapists use evidence-based strategies and interventions to promote lasting behavior change and improve the quality of life for our clients.

Our ABA therapy process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the individual's behavior, environment, and needs. Based on the assessment results, we develop a customized behavior intervention plan that is tailored to the individual's unique needs and goals. Our interventions are based on empirical research, are individualized, and are designed to produce observable behavior changes.

We use a variety of prevention, teaching, and management strategies to address the individual's needs and promote positive behavior change. Our ABA therapy approach is person-centered, which means we work collaboratively with family members, educators, and other caregivers to ensure that the individual's needs are met.

ABA therapy is effective for individuals of all ages and skill levels. It can be used to address a wide range of behavioral, social, and communication challenges, including but not limited to those experienced by individuals on the autism spectrum. At Diligent Behavioral Solutions, our goal is to create an environment where everyone, regardless of their background, feels confident that they belong in ABA therapy.
