What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the study of the functional relationship between the child’s behavior and their environment. Data is collected on the stimuli that elicits, increases, decreases, or maintains the child’s behavior.“Behavior” is defined as anything your child does or says. The data collected is analyzed and used to decrease your child’s maladaptive behavior, while simultaneously increasing his/her adaptive behavior for optimal treatment effectiveness.

How does it work?

The goal of a behavior analyst is to utilize behavioral contingencies to increase the child’s functional skills, which will replace unwanted maladaptive behavior to improve quality of life. For example, if a child whines or tantrums for his/her basic needs, our goal would be to increase (teach) social and communication skills (adaptive behavior), which would naturally decrease his/her whining and tantrums (maladaptive behavior).At Progressive ABA we constantly seek to help your child adapt to their environment, preparing them for a brighter future.

Can it help my child?

ABA treatment is the only treatment endorsed by the US Surgeon General as an effective treatment for autism. “Evidence based” implies ABA has passed scientific tests of usefulness, quality, and effectiveness. Starting intensive ABA treatment at an early age is crucial for skill acquisition and development in all areas of functional independence, including social awareness, improved communication, play, academic acquisition, and daily living skills.Studies have shown children who receive a minimum of 30 hours a week of intensive ABA treatment show greater improvements in skill acquisition and functional development in all areas when compared to similar children who do not participate in intensive ABA treatment. Parents and families who participate in ABA treatment report less familial stress and an overall improvement in quality of life for their child and the family.
