ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It’s a science focused on improving behaviors that are important to your child and family and teaching new skills to help your child reach their maximum potential. ABA therapy is used to target challenging behaviors that may be getting in the way of your child’s development and improving those areas. Ultimately, we want to increase desired behaviors and decrease challenging or undesired behaviors.
Occupational therapy practitioners are skilled professionals that use scientifically based evidence and research to look at the child through a holistic lens in order to facilitate full participation in life. The occupational therapist looks at the child as a whole, taking into account the physical, psychosocial, sensory, cognitive, and emotional makeup to form an individualized plan of care aimed at improving the child’s overall quality of life through increased occupational success and participation.
