ABA Therapy
WHAT DOES AN ABA THERAPY SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Therapy sessions at CAC often look and sound like typical childhood play, filled with wonder, growth, and fun!

-
Communication & cognitive development

What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is widely accepted as highly effective in teaching complex skills to children with autism. Within ABA sessions positive reinforcement is utilized as a tool to teach new desired skills and behaviors. Data is collected within each session to measure learning progress and to help determine techniques that are working best for the individual. At CAC we utilize multiple therapeutic strategies within our ABA sessions such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Training (NET), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), and Pivotal Response training (PRT).
