What is ABA Therapy?

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis therapy), is an evidence-based therapy that can improve communication, social skills, self-help skills, and a variety of learning skills through positive reinforcement. At Early Autism Services, much of our positive reinforcement comes through active play-based learning.

ABA therapy is considered evidence-based, and best practice for treating autism by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association.  ABA therapy has passed the scientific tests necessary to confirm its usefulness, quality, and effectiveness.
