ABA Therapy
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a science-based approach to helping children learn meaningful skills, improve communication, and reduce behaviors that may interfere with daily life. It is the most widely researched and effective therapy for individuals with autism and other developmental differences.
At its core, ABA therapy focuses on understanding how behavior works and using positive reinforcement to bring about lasting change. Each child’s therapy plan is completely individualized to meet their unique needs, strengths, and goals.
How ABA Therapy Helps:
- Builds communication and language skills
- Encourages social interaction and play
- Teaches daily living skills (e.g., getting dressed, brushing teeth)
- Promotes independence
- Reduces challenging behaviors through positive strategies
ABA therapy is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and supervises a custom plan for your child. Behavior Technicians work one-on-one with your child to implement that plan through fun, engaging, and structured activities.
At Growth Street ABA, we believe that every child can learn, grow, and thrive with the right support—and we’re here to walk alongside your family every step of the way.
PARENT TRAINING
What Is Parent Training in ABA Therapy?
Parent training is an essential part of the ABA therapy process. It involves working directly with parents and caregivers to teach strategies that support your child’s progress at home and in everyday life.
During parent training, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) guides you through:
- Understanding your child’s goals and how they’re addressed in therapy
- Learning effective techniques to manage challenging behaviors
- Building skills like communication, independence, and daily routines
- Creating consistency between therapy sessions and home life
Why It Matters:
Parent training empowers families to become active partners in their child’s growth. When strategies are used consistently across settings—both in therapy and at home—children are more likely to succeed and maintain their progress long-term.
At Growth Street ABA, we believe that when families and therapists work together, children achieve their greatest potential.
