ABA Therapy

Behavioral approaches have the most evidence for treating symptoms of ASD.

Behavioral approaches focus on changing behaviors by understanding what happens before and after the behavior.

ABA encourages desired behaviors and discourages undesired behaviors to improve a variety of skills. Progress is tracked and measured.

Discrete Trial Training (DTT):

This method breaks down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps, teaching each step separately until mastery is achieved.

Natural Environment Teaching (NET):

This approach focuses on teaching skills in real-life settings, promoting generalization of learned behaviors to everyday situations.

Pivotal Response Training (PRT):

This method targets "pivotal" areas of development, such as motivation, social interaction, and language, using play-based activities to teach new skills.

Social Skills Training (SST):

This approach focuses on teaching and practicing appropriate social behaviors, helping individuals with autism develop and maintain positive social interactions.

This helps the child to lead a social independent life.
