About ABA

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is an effective method of therapy based on the science of learning and behavior in a child’s natural setting. ABA is an evidence-based program, designed to decrease difficult behaviors and increase positive ones. Therapy programs involve a 1:1 ratio – one paraprofessional to one client - designed specific to each individual child.

The U.S. Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association have endorsed ABA for the treatment of children on the Autism spectrum, and ABA therapy is now covered by most insurance companies – including MassHealth.
