Providing applied behavior analysis intervention services for children with autism and related disorders.At ABA & VB Group, we use evidence-based practices to target skill deficits and behavioral excesses associated with the diagnosis of autism. We provide 1:1 intervention using individualized approaches for each child. Behavior analysis is the scientific study of behavior. Applied behavior analysis is the application of the principles and laws of behavior to socially significant areas. Profound changes have occurred in the lives of many children diagnosed with Autism due to the use of ABA programming. In this context, ABA involves breaking down and teaching basic skills that children with the diagnosis would not otherwise learn by using behavior analysis principles such as reinforcement, stimulus control, and establishing operations, and methods such as shaping, chaining, fading and differential reinforcement. Verbal Behavior is a behavior analytic approach to language. The Verbal Behavior approach involves teaching children to use words (regardless of the modality - vocal, sign, device or pictures) so they can immediately be of use in their day-to-day life. We teach children to have control over their environment with communication. All treatments use the scientifically validated strategies of Applied Behavior Analysis and Verbal Behavior to address language and communication deficits. The mission of ABA & VB Group is to provide effective and efficient behavioral programming that will allow your child to make the maximum amount of progress in the shortest time possible while keeping intervention positive, fun and fresh. Motivation is the key to success and is the focus of our intervention services. Our goal is to have both families and children grow and benefit from our services.
