What is ABA?

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior.

ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning.

ABA treatment is individualized to meet the unique needs of your child/youth, focusing on desired behaviour with awareness of emotional and environmental influences.

Can ABA Help?

YES! ABA therapy when supervised by a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) helps to increase functional appropriate behavior and decreases challenging behavior. 

Why Lansdowne?
