About

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy is a comprehensive and preventative child health program available to families of children with demonstrated clinical need.

​

Purpose

Behavioral specialists seek to connect families to and work collaboratively with community providers and resources. A large part of the program includes training families to successfully manage clinically designed behavioral modification strategies. Upon successful completion, families will have developed a stronger support system, and the child will have achieved adequate stabilization of the challenging behavior.

​
