How We Can Help
Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA) Therapy
ABA is a data-driven scientific approach to teaching communication, motor, social skills, playskills and skills of everyday living. By understanding your child’s behaviors and motivations, we can encourage skill development through a play based approach that makes learning fun!
Our approach to ABA is all about enhancing your child’s strengths and natural abilities, and teaching them the skills they need to reach their full potential as they develop. Every child is unique, which is why your ABA program at Ascend is all about meeting your child where they are and helping to gain independence to build a foundation for a successful future.
