ABA Basics
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy approach that helps build skills for everyday life. ABA helps with communication, emotional regulation, independence, daily routines, social skills, safety, and behavior support.
What do ABA services look like?
ABA services look different for every person because goals, strengths, and needs are different for every individual and family.Sessions are individualized, relationship-based, and focused on real-life skills that support everyday success. Length and frequency of sessions are determined by an individual assessment
ABA therapy can support children, teens, and adults with a wide range of strengths, needs, and goals. ABA Therapy has been found to be very helpful to autistic individuals but can also help many people that want to learn new skills and change behavior.
Who can benefit from ABA Therapy?
How is ABA different from Mental Health Therapy?
ABA therapy focuses on building practical skills that support everyday life. Mental health therapy often focuses more on emotions, thoughts, relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, and mental health conditions through talk-based therapy. Some people may benefit from both ABA therapy and mental health therapy at the same time. At Apex, we work collaboratively with families and other providers to support the whole person.
ABA therapy has changed over time, and many providers now focus on more supportive, relationship-based approaches. At Apex, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed services that focus on communication, independence, emotional wellbeing, and meaningful everyday skills.
