At ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, our core belief is rooted in a philosophy of respect, understanding, and partnership. Our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them. We understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and individual needs. Our approach is tailored specifically to each child, focusing on building skills and reducing behaviors that may interfere with their learning, social interaction, and overall quality of life.
ABA Therapy is a scientific, evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. Our experienced and compassionate therapists work collaboratively with children, parents, and caregivers to identify goals that are important and relevant to the child. These goals often include improving communication skills (both receptive and expressive), social skills, adaptive living skills (like daily routines, play, and self-care), and reducing challenging behaviors.
We create a supportive and encouraging environment where children can learn new skills and build confidence. Our therapists are trained professionals who are passionate about helping children reach their full potential. We believe in empowering families with knowledge and strategies to support their child's progress both during therapy sessions and at home.

Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how human behavior is learned. It focuses on the relationship between a behavior and the environment that surrounds it. ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement to teach new skills and to decrease behaviors that are problematic. It is highly individualized and focuses on measurable goals to help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities improve their communication, social, play, and learning skills.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the child's current skills and challenges. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops an individualized treatment plan (ABA plan) with specific, measurable goals. This plan outlines the strategies and techniques the therapists will use during sessions. Therapists then implement these strategies, using positive reinforcement (like praise, tokens, or access to preferred activities) to encourage desired behaviors and skills. Regular data collection and progress monitoring allow the treatment plan to be continuously adjusted to best meet the child's needs.
Q3: What conditions does ABA Therapy help with?
ABA therapy is primarily used for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, its principles can be beneficial for individuals with various developmental disabilities, including but not limited to Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and other conditions that involve challenges with learning, communication, or behavior. It can help address difficulties across multiple domains, such as social interaction, communication, sensory processing, play skills, and adaptive behaviors.
