If you have other questions we are happy to help. The interest form is the best way to connect with our team.

What is ABA therapy and how does it work?

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is a gold standard in care for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It helps children build practical skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. Through ABA therapy, children can improve communication, develop self-care routines, and better manage emotions.

At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), our Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) and Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) use positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to support growth. Families are active partners in therapy, working with our clinical team to set goals and track progress.

Will my child be sitting at a table all day during ABA therapy?

No way! At ABC, learning happens through a variety of engaging activities. While table time can be part of learning school readiness skills, children also enjoy:

  • Circle Time with therapists and peers
  • “Eats and Crafts” spaces for hands-on activities
  • Group exercise, sensory rooms, and play-based learning

Therapy is designed to be fun, active, and motivating.

Is ABA therapy effective for autism?

Yes! Every autistic child 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, including ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
