APPLIED BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS

Elevation Pediatric Therapy provides Center-Based and Home-Based Therapy through Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). We provide ABA Therapy to anyone needing them ranging from 18-months to 21-years old.

ABA focuses on improving positive behaviors and eliminating negative behaviors in order to teach a variety of skills (e.g., communication, adaptive skills, feeding, and toilet training). Interventions using applied behavior analytic principles have long been established as effective approaches to increase appropriate behaviors and decrease problem behaviors for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; National Autism Center, 2009; Wong et al., 2014).

Why Does ABA Work?

Over 30 years of research has demonstrated the effectiveness of ABA for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children who receive early, intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) have demonstrated positive improvements in their development. Areas of improvement include: communication, socialization, following instructions, daily living skills, etc.
