ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is the premier treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), listed first on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's list of treatments. ABA is the most widely accepted treatment among healthcare professionals and schools because it is a scientific approach to enhancing socially significant behaviors and reducing unwanted or inappropriate behaviors. For over 40 years, ABA Therapy has proven an effective treatment for children diagnosed with autism and related conditions.

Through frequent data analysis and environmental manipulations, BGF Performance Systems' Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and staff therapists will work with you and your child to increase independence and academic success through programming that caters to your child’s needs.

Four Recent findings about autism that you might not know:

 

 

1. High-quality early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with ABA Therapy can do more than improve behaviors, it can improve brain function.

2. Being nonverbal at age 4 does NOT mean children will never speak. Research shows that with ABA Therapy most will learn to use words, and nearly half will learn to speak fluently.

3. Though autism tends to be life long, some children with ASD make so much progress with ABA Therapy that they no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for autism.

4. While early intensive ABA Therapy might seem expensive, it can lead to more than a 40% reduction in later Autism services. Paying for itself within 8 years and saving families tens of thousands of dollars.

 

"An emergency IEP meeting had to be called for our son at his school because, with ABA Therapy, he had met all of his IEP goals within the first month of the school year!" -Myra, Mother of a child with Autism

"Each day I am newly amazed at the skills my son is developing with ABA Therapy. Before, he was not talking at all. Now, he will comment on the things he sees when we are out on a walk and talk about his friends at school. ABA Therapy has opened up wonderful new facets in our relationship." - Kelly, Mother of a child with Autism
