ABA is a scientific discipline based on the principles of learning and behavior. ABA helps us to understand how behaviors work, how the environment impacts behavior, and how learning takes place.

ABA therapy can target:

Communication (talking, listening, understanding)
Cognition (reasoning, learning)
Socialization (playing, friendships)
Adaptive skills (getting dressed, eating, community safety)

We currently offer ABA services at our San Jose clinic and via telehealth. We are not offering in-home services at this time.
