ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It’s the science of behavior—basically, we analyze what people do, figure out why they do it, and teach more appropriate behaviors using reinforcement.
Keep in mind we don’t only work on the “bad behaviors”, we also fill in the gaps for missing skills.

Nope! While ABA is the gold standard for treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it can be used with anyone—children, adults, anyone. ABA is applied wherever behavior change is needed—education, business, mental health, even fitness.

It depends on the individual but often includes: structured tasks, behavior reduction plans and data collection. Sessions can happen at home, in a clinic, or a work environment.

We take data like it’s our full-time job—because, well, it is. Every behavior we teach or reduce is tracked meticulously. That data tells us what’s working, what’s not, and how to adjust the plan.

BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts): BCBAs design and oversee treatment plans, and supervise. They hold a master’s degree, complete clinical training, and pass a board certification exam (similar to medical boards).
RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians): They carry out the day-to-day sessions. Typically holding an undergraduate degree, RBTs complete required training and pass a technician certification exam. They implement treatment plans under BCBA supervision.
Parents/Caregivers: ABA includes collaboration with families to support learning and ensure skills generalize beyond sessions.
Clients (Participants):
The individuals receiving services are central to the process. Goals are tailored to their unique needs, and when possible, they take an active role in their own progress. -
