Backed by science.
Built for your child's growth.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven, evidence‑based approach that helps children build communication, learning, and daily living skills while reducing behaviors that get in the way of growth.

Why families choose ABA

Evidence Based

Recognized as effective by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association, and the U.S. Surgeon General.

Individualized

Every program is tailored to your child's strengths, needs, and family priorities.

Data-Driven

We measure progress and adjust goals so gains are meaningful and sustainable.

Family-Centered

Caregivers are partners in every step of the journey.

The science behind ABA

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most researched and effective treatment for autism. Dozens of studies show that children in ABA programs build stronger communication, learning, and daily living skills compared to children in other or no interventions.

Real progress in learning

Intensive, early ABA can change developmental trajectories. In a landmark study, nearly half of children in comprehensive ABA reached average IQ scores, compared to a small fraction in other programs.

Growing communication 

Language is the key to connection. Meta‑analyses show ABA produces substantial improvements in receptive and expressive language compared to eclectic or low‑intensity approaches.

Building independence

ABA supports everyday skill like eating, dressing, self‑care, and safety. With targeted teaching and lots of practice, children develop the independence they need at home, school, and in the community.
