Behavior Analysis Clinic

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. Behavior analysis helps us to understand:

• How behavior works
• How behavior is affected by the environment
• How learning takes place

The methods of behavior analysis have been used and studied for decades. They have helped many kinds of learners gain different skills – from healthier lifestyles to learning a new language. Therapists have used ABA to help children with autism and related developmental disorders since the 1960s. ABA therapy programs can help:

• Increase language and communication skills
• Improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics 
• Decrease problem behaviors

We provide a wide range of behavior analytic services for clients of all ages, from children to older adults. The primary ages of clients range from 2.5 to 10 years, however, if the clinical team determines that they have the means, individuals outside of that range can be served on a case-by-case basis.

The primary areas of service include (but are not limited to): 

• Social skills
• Early language skills
• Assessment and treatment of problem behavior
• Noncompliance
• Parent training

All services are at no cost; however, we do ask families who have the means to make a charitable donation to help support the continuing efforts of the clinic.
