Applied Behavior Analysis Services
APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services are incorporated into the comprehensive treatment approach at the Melmed Center. ABA is the application of principles of behavior to improve socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree. ABA therapy is evidence-based, and research has documented the effectiveness of ABA in the education and treatment of people with autism. Having a child with special needs impacts the whole family such as participating in family functions and community outings depending on how your child engages with others and their surroundings. Our ABA services are family-focused and each treatment is individualized to fit your family’s needs and improve the quality of life for the whole family.
