What is ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is a structured intervention that reinforces positive behaviors and reduces behaviors interfering with learning or social development. Recognized as the gold standard for autism intervention, ABA therapy emphasizes:
- Behavioral Assessments: Identify each child’s strengths, weaknesses, and developmental needs.
- Skill Development: Teach communication, social, academic, and adaptive skills through structured activities.
- Behavior Reduction Techniques: Positive reinforcement to decrease tantrums, aggression, and repetitive behaviors.
- Data-Driven Adjustments: Continuous progress tracking to adapt therapy plans effectively.
At My Favorite Therapists Tampa, ABA therapy is customized to every child for measurable progress and long-term growth.
