5/5 would recommend! Team Allison is amazing! The group of therapist that work with our so are fantastic. I was very worried about leaving him somewhere but by the end of the first week my son was running up to the therapist and ready to go back and play! The transformation is beautiful and I can tell they all love him there! Cannot thank them enough for all the wonderful things they do! Changing lives one session at a time!

My son has been with ABC for only about two months. We have already seen so much improvement in his behavior and therefore is willingness to learn new things. He would get so frustrated when he couldn't communicate what he wanted that it turn into a temper tantrum even if what was being asked of him was something he wanted to do. Now his attitude has changed with his frustration levels decreasing by the day. This allows him to learn new skills that have helped him with his communication. The results speak for themselves and we are excited to continue with ABC to help bring our kiddo up to speed. On another note I want to thank the team and the staff at ABC. From Lauren, who manages the day to day, to Brittney, who is our team lead, to all the therapist on staff. They are amazing! It's a job that you have to be compassionate, patient, and have a big heart to be successful. These are just some of the great qualities this team has. Best of all they do it with a huge smile and share the joy in the successes of our little one. Thank you to the entire staff at ABC for everything you do. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication!!!

We highly recommend the ABC location on old settlers Blvd. We toured a few other locations and none were even close to being a top choice. Our son has been attending the location for several months. In just the first week we saw major behavioral and vocal improvements. The entire staff is friendly and interacts well with my son. We couldn’t be more thankful to having such a great team !

Our team – and the vast majority of autism experts in the United States – are committed to ABA therapy as the key treatment for those on the Autism Spectrum. Why? It’s simple. ABA therapy has helped non-verbal children speak, those without social skills interact with others, those with aggression eliminate their problem behaviors, and so much more.

How will ABA therapy help my child?

ABA therapy will address the developmental deficiencies identified during an initial assessment of your child’s functioning across dozens of areas. With children on the autism spectrum, this often includes areas of verbal communication, like the ability to converse with parents and peers, request items, and communicate emotions and needs. Nonverbal communication, like making gestures and understanding social cues, can also be developed. Other important target areas of ABA include social skills, play skills, potty training, self-care skills (brushing teeth, washing hands, etc.), and day-to-day living skills (getting dressed, table manners, etc.).

Does ABA therapy work for Autism?

ABA treatment for autism is heavily researched, and virtually every peer-reviewed research study on ABA describes early intensive intervention as the best practice. ABA therapy is the gold standard for a clinically-validated and heavily researched approach to helping children with autism.

What happens at an ABA treatment center?

First and foremost, a child and a therapist will “pair,” meaning they will simply take time to play, get comfortable with each other, and establish a good relationship. Based on a child’s individualized treatment plan, specific therapy goals will be worked on each day. Therapists will collect data on the success rate with each goal, and once a goal is mastered, children will move on to the next. Common therapy goals might include pointing to objects to indicate want or need, playing appropriately with toys, matching pictures and objects, learning sounds and words, potty training, and so much more.

What does ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) stand for?

Applied Behavior Analysis is likely a phrase that you haven’t used much in your life. Let’s break it down: -Applied (this is an applied, or practical, method that we use). -Behavior (we all have an intuitive sense of this word – behavior is what people do) -Analysis (the study or investigation into something) Applied Behavior Analysis seeks to understand why a child does something (analyzing behavior) and then applies this within the child’s individualized lessons. An example: a child screams loudly. We’ll work to understand why the child screams – this is called the “function” of the behavior. If we can understand why the screaming occurs (the child is triggered by a small change in routine), we can then do something about it (slowly introduce the child to different kinds of transitions, work on regulating emotions).

I’m nervous about putting my child in someone else’s care. Is your team knowledgeable and caring?

Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are passionate about ABA therapy and all that it can do. A BCBA is a master’s or doctoral-level healthcare practitioner that uses the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to assist with developmental issues, especially autism spectrum disorders. At Action Behavior Centers, our BCBAs have multiple years of experience working with children of a wide range of ages and functions. Our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are certified through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. In addition, before being paired with a Kiddo for 1:1 therapy, each RBT is provided with extensive on-site training to ensure they have the skills to effectively help children with a range of behavioral challenges. Our team members are very excited to help make a difference in the lives of you and your family members.
