It's Behavioral

Applied Behavior Analysis

At It's Behavioral, we practice Applied Behavior Analysis, (ABA), which uses systematic, evidence-based methods to improve socially significant behaviors in children on the Autism Spectrum (ASD), ADHD, developmental and intellectual delays. Behavior analysis is a recognized profession that requires specialized training and regulatory practices, overseen by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board® (BACB®).

All to bring about socially significant changes!

​Why Does ABA Work?

The power of ABA lies in the systematic and scientific application of the concept of reinforcements to motivate people to increase desired behaviors and reduce undesirable behavior (tantrums). Well-crafted and implemented ABA programs are powerful tools that can be used to help children, adolescents, and adults to reduce challenging behaviors, increase cognition, and to teach new skills to promote independence in learning and everyday tasks.

ABA therapy breaks a child’s behavior down into objective, measurable units so that behavioral data can be collected and observed in order to assess the child’s behaviors, identify the skills the child needs to develop, and record the effectiveness of the therapy over time.  This evidence-based approach makes ABA therapy’s results clearly demonstrable.  According to a 1999 Surgeon General’s report: “Thirty years of research demonstrated the efficacy of applied behavioral methods in reducing inappropriate behavior and in increasing communication, learning, and appropriate social behavior.“
