What is ABA Therapy?
ABA Therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a proven, science-backed approach that helps children with autism learn and grow by improving everyday skills and reducing challenging behaviors. It focuses on how behavior works in real-life situations and uses positive reinforcement to encourage meaningful, lasting progress. At Creating Brighter Futures, ABA therapy is tailored to each child's needs—helping them gain confidence, build independence, and thrive at home, in school, and in their community.
