Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) / Behavior Modification
"Applied behavior analysis is the science in which procedures derived from the principles of behavior are systematically applied to improve socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree and to demonstrate experimentally that the procedures employed were responsible for the improvement in behavior."Â Cooper, 1986
Research has documented that ABA is an effective method for teaching and increasing a wide variety of valuable skills and reducing problem behavior for individuals with autism and related disorders.
ACES is committed to providing quality ABA services to help improve the lives of children and their families. The systematic method for assessment and intervention allows ACES staff to identify “why†a child engages in maladaptive behaviors and develop the most successful strategies to teach new skills. With the use of behavior plans and consultation/training, parents and other professional are taught how to utilize ABA principles so that a child can be successful across environments and individuals in their life.
