UNDERSTANDING ABA
What Is ABA Therapy?
ABA is a science-based approach to understanding how children learn and how their surroundings influence behavior. Therapists look at what happens before and after a behavior, identify why it may be occurring, and use that information to teach meaningful new skills.
At MeBe, ABA is individualized and play-based, using fun, engaging activities and everyday experiences to help children learn naturally. Rather than expecting every child to act the same, we focus on building independence, confidence, and skills that help each child participate more fully in everyday life.
AREAS OF FOCUS
What Can ABA Help With?
ABA can address a wide range of skills based on your child’s individual needs and the priorities that matter most to your family.
