Therapies for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most widely accepted therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder.
Autism Therapy Using the Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (aka ABA Therapy)
Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is one of the most widely accepted therapies for children with autism spectrum disorder. ABA Therapy has been shown to be successful for improving learning, communication, and social skills of children with ASD.Is Autism Therapy Using ABA Right for Your Child?
Many parents try ABA for their child and let the results speak for themselves. Your child's therapist should be specially trained in working with children with autism and should hold a BCBA certification or be supervised by one. The goal is to help your child develop skills that will serve them for a lifetime.What is the Evidence That ABA Works?
ABA is considered an evidence-based best practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association. More than 20 studies have established that intensive and long-term therapy using ABA principles improves outcomes for many children with autism.Feeding Challenges and Autism
Many children with autism experience feeding difficulties — from extreme food selectivity to sensory-driven food refusal. Research shows that up to 70% of children with ASD have atypical eating behaviors.
Our TR-Eat Pediatric Feeding Therapy program uses the same ABA principles to help children overcome these challenges and develop safe, flexible eating habits.
