Behavioral Therapy (ABA)

What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the application of evidence-based learning principles to teach functional skills and replace challenging behaviors with socially appropriate alternatives. ABA therapy includes assessment, ongoing measurement of progress, direct intervention, and parent training. At TDCC, ABA therapy aims to improve a child’s developmental trajectory and quality of life by enhancing their independent access to the world.

ABA can be provided in both structured and naturalistic teaching settings to address a wide variety of skills. ABA therapy at TDCC can be delivered in the centre, home, larger community, nursery, or school. All ABA therapy programs are overseen by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst and Case Manager.

Direct ABA therapy sessions take place with a trained Behavior Therapist who incorporates the child’s motivation and interests within activities aimed to build new target skills and abilities. While simultaneously addressing behaviors barriers that may impact the rate of skill development.
