What is ABA Therapy?

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. Dawn Hendricks, PH.D., Susan Palko, M.Ed. and Adam Dreyfus, MA, BCBA define ABA as a “scientific approach to understanding behavior. ABA refers to a set of principles that focus on how behaviors change, or are affected by the environment, as well as how learning takes place. The term behavior refers to skills and actions needed to talk, play, and live. While these principles impact everyone each day, they can be applied systematically through interventions to help individuals learn and apply new skills in their daily lives.”

ABA requires the implementation of established principles of learning, behavioral strategies, and environmental modifications to improve and teach new behaviors. In practice, implementation must be systematic so teachers can identify how behavior can be changed and understood how learning occurred. The ultimate goal of ABA is to establish and enhance socially important behaviors. Such behaviors can include academic, social, communication, and daily living skills; essentially, any skill that will enhance the independence and or quality of life for the individual.

Our Neurodiversity Affirming Care Approach

Here at Moving Mountains Bx, we pride ourselves in implementing neurodiversity informed therapy. While we teach and enhance the skills needed to increase the independence and/or quality of life of our clients, we also believe that our clients should have a say in their treatment and we embrace the differences that make them who they are, rather than trying to fix them. Our goal is to promote the well-being and happiness of our clients above all and provide support only where necessary.
