Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding behavior. ABA requires the implementation of established principles of learning, behavioral strategies, and environmental modifications to improve and teach new behaviors. The goal of ABA is to establish and enhance academic, social, communication, and daily living skills.

ABA is a huge part of Works of Wonder Therapy. It has transformed our personal and professional lives in countless ways. We love the fact that ABA is effective and individualized. Our favorite aspect of ABA is positive reinforcement. The implementation of a few ABA principles quickly transforms any environment from negative to positive.

Unfortunately, our ABA program has an extremely long waiting list. Because of this, we encourage you to enroll your child on every ABA waiting list in your area.

We are passionate about helping parents/guardians understand that their role in the therapeutic process is vital.  Each week, we will expect you to engage in a portion of your child’s session.  Our goal is for you to leave the appointment knowing how to help your child practice the skills he/she is learning in therapy.  For optimum results, what we do in therapy must be practiced and reinforced everywhere.  We expect you and your child to practice these skills at home, in stores, in restaurants, and in the car.  Practice makes progress and you are the catalyst!
