After 15 years of struggling to fit ABA into my family life, Applied Behavior Associates was established to partner with families to create impactful and meaningful change through ABA.

How it started...

Hi friend!

We believe that every child can meet his or her full potential through individualized data-driven one-to-one therapy based on the science of ABA. We also believe that a child’s motivation is key to learning.

Our program is built on increasing crucial cusp skills, skills that, once acquired, open doors for additional experiences and learning opportunities. These early foundational skills include joint attention, communicating wants and needs, cooperation, and imitation of others.

Our philosophy is that the learner is never wrong. We collect and analyze data daily to ensure that your child is making progress towards the treatment goals outlined in his or her treatment plan. 

How it's going...

we're partner's in your child's achievement. We’re here to simplify every aspect of accessing the highest quality therapy services for your child, while providing unmatched parent training and support.

"An integral part in our son’s development was our RBT, Ms. Alicia. One word to describe her is “Perfectionist”. She went above and beyond in helping my son manage his behavior. With her help, my son was able to adapt so well to General Ed in school! Now he is able to handle the virtual school so well. We infact were little sad when my son got discharged from his one on one sessions.."
