Welcome
Meet our wonderful staff. They are ABA trained professionals, Both BCBA's and RBT's
A qualified and trained behavior analyst (BCBA) designs and directly oversees the program. They customize the ABA program to each learner's skills, needs, interests, preferences and family situation.
Applied Behavior Analysis involves many techniques for understanding and changing behavior. ABA is a flexible treatment:
-
Can be adapted to meet the needs of each unique person
-
Provided in many different locations – at home, at school, and in the community
-
Teaches skills that are useful in everyday life
ABA therapy programs also involve therapists, or registered behavior technicians (RBTs). These therapists are trained and supervised by the BCBA. They work directly with children and adults with autism to practice skills and work toward the individual goals written by the BCBA.
