Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of therapy that centers on improving communication, language and socially significant behaviors primarily used to treat individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders such as ADHD and Down Syndrome. ABA is an evidence-based intervention that focuses on identifying the cause of a behavior and focuses on increasing deficits such as communication, language, social skills, play and leisure skills while decreasing challenging behaviors. In addition, ABA therapy focuses on implementing strategies that can be generalized to caregivers.
