The rate of autism diagnoses has skyrocketed in the last decade, shooting from 1 in 68 to 1 in 36, according to the CDC. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy has become one of the most notable behavioral approaches to autism treatment, but there’s no one-size-fits-all modality.
Clinicians providing ABA therapy meet children with autism where they are – often literally. The one-on-one therapy is offered to children with autism inside clinics, inside their homes, within their communities and, in rarer cases, via telehealth.
ABA encourages desired behaviors, like initiating conversation with others, and discourages undesired behaviors, according to the CDC.
“It really is the science of learning,” Kathleen Stengel, CEO of NeurAbilities Healthcare, told Behavioral Health Business.
