What is ABA
Applied Behaviour Analysis, or ABA, is the science of applying principles of learning to change behaviour. ABA focuses on using a variety approaches to teach adaptive behaviours and to reduce interfering or problematic behaviours by replacing them with safer, more functional alternatives.
The goal of an ABA program is not to change the learner in any way, but to help teach them skills they need to reach their full potential and be happy.
Our approach to ABA focuses on gaining learner cooperation so your child is an actively engaged willing participant who enjoys playing and learning together. We use the principles of behaviour analysis combined with Skinner’s analysis of Verbal Behaviour (VB) to ensure teaching is not only relevant but also fun and motivating for your child.
We believe that, just as each child is a unique individual, so should each ABA program be unique. Each program is highly individualized to meet your child’s specific needs while taking your goals and values as a family into consideration.
