APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS

(ABA THERAPY)

ABA therapy is a scientific, evidence based practice, which uses principles derived from the science of behavior to improve lives through socially significant behavior change (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007, p. 20)

Often considered the “gold standard” in Autism therapy (American Psychological Association, US Surgeon General), ABA can help reduce maladaptive behaviors by increasing functional communication and coping skills, in addition to teaching a variety of new skills in areas such as social-emotional reciprocity and ADLs (activities of daily living).

At Emerald Coast Behavior, Inc., we offer both in-clinic and in-home ABA services.

PARENT Training

As part of our ABA programming, we require all parents to participate in parent training. We know life is busy! We offer weekend and evening times upon request.

We are in the process of developing a parent training curriculum that will be available to non-ABA clients. Please check back for more information.

AWARENESS EVENTS

Our little town has quite an active Autism Community! We strive to share events and partner with local NFP and Autism Awareness Organizations. Please contact us directly for more information.

SOCIAL SKILLS GROUPS

If your child does not have a diagnosis of Autism, or ABA Therapy is not the right choice for your family, Emerald Coast Behavior, Inc. partners with Wolff Academy, Inc. to offer seasonal social skills groups.

Social Skills Groups provide a safe space for children to learn age appropriate social skills such as: turn taking, conversational skills, conflict resolution, size of the problem, age appropriate independent living skills, and more.

Please contact us directly for more information.
