Treatment And Therapies For Autism

Applied Behavior Analysis Training (ABA)


ABA is one of the most widely accepted therapeutic remedies for autism. It is based on the idea that people engage in repeated behaviors which are recognized or rewarded more than they do in those that are ignored.


ABA helps children with autism and other related disorders who exhibit unwanted behaviors like head-banging or slapping others. It can be very difficult and frustrating for parents and caregivers to reduce these behaviors and they often end up making these behaviors occur more frequently when they try to discourage them. With ABA, autistic children are helped to develop a number of skill sets and, at the same time, to reduce the presentation of problematic behaviors.
