ABC at Home
An at-home environment allows children to engage in play-based learning in a familiar setting. Children work one-on-one with a qualified clinician who teaches them how to apply what they're learning to real-life situations.
ABC Academy
This innovative program provides part-time or full-time ABA therapy for children ages 5–12. Children receive individualized instruction and learn skills that can prepare them for the future.

The ABA therapy provided here has been a game changer for my son, who in his own words said "I've learned how to make friends and finally enjoy school." The staff are delightful and knowledgeable, and patiently worked with us as we navigated our own journey through the world of ABA. The staff at ABC gave our family the tools we needed to improve our son's life and ours. It's definitely a team effort and parents need to be willing to put in the investment of learning too, but it's absolutely worth it. We even miss coming here as we had such positive interactions with the staff! Thank you, ABC!

What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis therapy is a proven approach for helping children with autism build new skills and reduce behaviors that can make learning more difficult. Through our Pennsylvania ABA therapy, children diagnosed with ASD can improve their communication, develop self-care routines, and learn emotion regulation skills. Our ABA therapists use positive reinforcement and personalized strategies to support each child’s growth. We work closely with families to help children reach their goals and build the skills they need for the future.
Does ABA therapy work for autism?
Yes! Every child with autism is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
Does ABA therapy mean my child is “stuck” at a table all day repeating the same tasks?
No way! At Action Behavior Centers, we create an exciting environment for learning. While sitting at a table may be a developmental goal for school readiness, there are so many other skills to learn and fun to have.
Our autism treatment centers feature designated “Eats and Crafts” spaces that are used daily for exciting activities. Circle Time, another daily event, brings therapists, BCBAs, and children together to sing, laugh, and learn. Children can also participate in energetic, therapist-led activities like group exercises and sensory rooms.
