Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

We work with children and teenagers who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families to design, implement, and monitor individualized plans of care and goals created to bring about meaningful and positive changes in the behavior of each child.

​​

Behaviors A Go-Go provides comprehensive ABA treatment that addresses multiple affected developmental domains, such as cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and adaptive functioning. Maladaptive behaviors, such as noncompliance, tantrums, and stereotypy are also typically the focus of treatment. 

 

Behaviors A Go-Go embraces six key concepts of ABA therapy:

  1. We are guided by the methods of scientific inquiry;

  2. All procedures we use are described and implemented in a systematic and quantifiable manner;

  3. We do not embrace all means of changing behavior, only those derived from the basic principles of behavior modification are used;

  4. We focus on socially significant behaviors to close the gap between the child's level of functioning and their typically developing peers;

  5. We look for meaningful improvement in important behaviors that shape the clild's development and growth as an individual;

  6. We analyze the factors that may be responsible for improvement in the child's behavioral profile.
