Used as a scientific approach to understanding different behavior, ABA is a method of therapy used to improve or change specific behaviors. In simple terms, ABA changes the environment in order to change the behavior. It’s not just used to correct bad behavior. While we often think of the word “behavior” as meaning bad behavior, that’s not always the case. In reference to ABA therapy, behavior is what we do and how we act. ABA therapy is used to improve behaviors like social skills, reading, academics, and communication as well as learned skills like grooming, hygiene, fine motor dexterity, job proficiency and even simple things like a child keeping his room clean.

Note from Milo's Mamma:
Milo started ABA in May of 2019. For him, it was the best decision. Not all therapies offered are needed for everyone on the spectrum. Make sure you get the best approach for what to do next from your diagnosing doctor. Also, make sure you do your research on how they conduct the therapy, not all places are the same. Some will be a better fit for your lifestyle and how you raise them. I am glad we found where we are. – Milo’s Mama
