About ABA

The scientific field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on the application of behavioral laws to change socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree. ABA is a well-developed scientific discipline, which is based on many decades of research. By emphasizing questions such as how behavior is affected by the environment and how learning takes place, ABA can help to increase social skills, communication skills, and learning skills.

Over the past 50 years, hundreds of peer-revied studies have demonstrated ABA’s effectiveness in reducing the core deficits of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and establishing crucial skills. This has made ABA the standard of care for the treatment of ASD.

Moreover, ABA encompasses a much broader scope as its behavioral principles and methods are used to initiate socially significant behavior changes across all areas of life, ages, and conditions.

Since ABA is data based, all treatment decisions are made based on the individual’s goals and recorded data. This makes it possible to accurately assess an individual’s progress by quantifying the increase and decrease of behaviors and skills over time.

About Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting areas such as social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication skills. ASD refers to a broad range of conditions, which are mostly caused by genetic and environmental factors. Since ASD is a spectrum disorder, each individual diagnosed with ASD displays a specific set of strengths and challenges. This is why an individualized treatment approach is crucial for the success of each individual.
