What is ABA Therapy for Autism?<\/h2>\n

What You Need to Know About Applied Behavior Analysis<\/h3>\n

As one of the most studied and proven effective autism therapy methods, ABA therapy at Pediatric Behaviors Solutions empowers your child to reach for their dreams. Using what we know and understand about how behavior and learning work, we use Applied Behavior Analysis to shape preferred behaviors and reduce those that are undesirable.<\/p>\n

Your child with autism is wonderfully unique. They don\u2019t need a \u201ccure.\u201d They need trained guidance, prompting, positive reinforcement, and support to overcome particular challenges. In ABA therapy at Pediatric Behavior Solutions, your child gets precisely what they need to build a brighter tomorrow.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”250″ img_size=”full” el_class=”aba”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” el_class=”ABA-sec2″][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”heading”]<\/p>\n
