ABA Therapy
Center Based ABA Therapy in Chandler, AZ
We offer comprehensive center-based ABA therapy for kids in the Greater Phoenix area at our ABA clinic in Chandler. We take pride in seeing every child succeed and tailor our ABA program to meet the needs of those we care for.
What is ABA Therapy for Kids?
Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is a proven autism spectrum disorder treatment that uses positive reinforcement to help those with developmental disorders improve their social and physical skills and behaviors.
Phew, that’s a mouthful! In other words, our trained behavior analysts and direct care staff work one on one with your loved one to identify disruptive behaviors and reinforce positive behaviors. ABA therapy is different for everyone and depending on their unique needs our autism therapy for kids may focus on:
- Communication and language acquisition
- Social skills
- Motor dexterity
- Hygiene
- Academic skills
- Grooming
- Improve attention & memory
So, what does ABA therapy look like? ABA therapy can include play time, group activities, individual teaching, and reinforcement from family at home. In each session, therapists reward the successful use of goal behaviors—for example, a child receives a high five when they successfully initiate a social interaction with “hi,” or “hello.” Therapists set up opportunities to practice the goal behavior, deliver positive reinforcement, and gradually increase the complexity of the behavior over time.
Young children typically spend their day at our ABA clinic in Chandler, moving between different learning spaces, while older children visit us for after-school sessions.
For all the individuals we serve, preparing for school environments is a key part of our approach. Our goal is to ensure children can thrive alongside their peers, behave appropriately in a school environment, and continue to grow as individuals. Whether your child is getting ready to transition to preschool or kindergarten, or is already in-school, ABA is an impactful tool in helping them take full advantage of their learning opportunities.
When it comes to developing healthy, positive behaviors, every family member has an impact. We treat parents and other caregivers like part of our team, working together to foster independence and social aptitude. We equip you with the tools you need to be an active participant in your loved one’s care through regular training, communication with our ABA team, and resources in our parent & caregiver portal.
As children grow and respond to therapy, their needs and goals will change. So, we change with them. We’ll regularly evaluate performance and challenges, tailoring our program and support as needed.
