“An Introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)”

April 13, 2019 By ABC Behavior

Most people have not heard about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy until they find out their child is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their Primary Care Physician recommends it. It isn’t as well known as Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) or Occupational Therapy (OT). However, it is foundational in making the child and family more successful in most areas of their lives, including visits to SLP or OT specialists. Oftentimes, ABA providers work with parents, PCP, SLP and OT providers, insurances, and the school systems to create a unique treatment plan to help the child with their development.
