ABA therapy is an evidence-based treatment for individuals diagnosed with Autism or related disorders derived from years of scientific research. Studies show that early intervention, some as young as 18 months, can improve abilities in children diagnosed with Autism.
“The earlier intervention can begin, the better for long-term outcomes.” – Center For Disease Control
ABA therapy helps individuals learn new skills, change behaviors and improve their quality of life. ABA therapy can help with various disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental disorders such as Down syndrome.
Through positive reinforcement, kids are taught what a parent expects in certain situations and are rewarded when they follow those expectations. This helps them understand social rules and boundaries while also giving them tools for future success. When implemented at an individualized level, ABA Therapy can decrease challenging behaviors while increasing appropriate and wanted behaviors such as communication and daily living skills.
“I have a strong passion for early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI). I believe ABA is a proven and effective method of teaching children with Autism, and it is a great privilege to collaborate with families and team members to help individuals learn the skills they need to live a more independent life. “Alexa Kramer, Clinical Director at Apara Autism Center The Woodlands
