ABA Therapy | Near Me
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It is considered an evidence-based best practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association. ABA helps us to understand how behavior works, how the environment affects behavior, and how learning occurs. The goal of ABA is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are detrimental or negatively affect learning.
At AGBS, our in-home and community-based ABA therapy services (in Hackensack, NJ and surrounding towns of Bergen County NJ) can improve the language and communication skills of your child. Our services can also improve your child’s attention, social skills, memory, academic skills, and decrease problem behaviors. To achieve these improvements, we rely heavily on positive reinforcement.
AGBS does not utilize a “one size fits all” approach to teach your child. Each program your child works on in an ABA therapy session is written to meet their individual needs.
