Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is endorsed by the US Surgeon General and other medical associations as the leading approach supporting the development of new skills in children with autism spectrum disorder.

ABA Therapy aims to improve functional communication, social interactions, pre-academic and school readiness skills, transitions or unexpected changes to routines, emotional regulation, and self-care skills (grooming, toileting, personal hygiene), while reducing behaviors that interfere with learning or cause harm.
