ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis is a proven treatment tool in therapy for people with behavior-language-and social impairments including those with autism. ABA systematically approaches learning as a behavior and includes task analysis and data driven programming to guide instruction and learning.  The SLC approach to ABA incorporates four areas as seen in our Teaching Paradigm.  We believe the meaningful collaboration and programming between the Speech Language Pathologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst is required to address the underlying and surface challenges of people with communication and behavior challenges.
