Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive techniques to teach new, desired skills while reducing challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them improve communication, social interaction, learning, and daily living skills.

A: Our process is collaborative and tailored to each child. It typically involves:
- Initial Consultation & Assessment: We gather information about your child's history, strengths, challenges, and goals.

- Regular Communication: We keep parents informed and involved throughout the process.
Q3: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and progress. Many children benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) during critical developmental periods, which might last several years. However, therapy can range from short-term interventions for specific skill builds to long-term support. We work with you to determine the appropriate duration based on your child's unique circumstances and objectives.
