We utilize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help our clients gain essential life skills and reduce any barriers to their development. Our therapy uses a completely scientific approach. All of our programs are custom designed by a BCBA for each client and are completely data- driven. In addition to being visible in real life, all of our clients’ successes in development are measured and graphed on paper.
Generally, ABA therapy focuses on establishing and enhancing all socially significant behavior. Here at On Target ABA we put a big emphasis on Verbal Behavior (VB), which focuses on language, communication, social, and play skills.
All of this is done in a fun, positive way that is level and age appropriate for each specific client.
After a thorough evaluation, your BCBA will decide on specific goals for your child based on assessments of your child’s existing skill sets and deficits. Typically, our therapy sessions cover many developmental areas simultaneously. Our therapists are trained to naturally incorporate many target goals into different fun activities each session. Our BCBAs are always updating and modifying their clients’ goals as they progress step by step. Below is a list of some of the areas that we target:

ABA Therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a research-driven approach that helps individuals improve behaviors and learn new skills through positive reinforcement and behavior modification techniques. It is widely recognized as an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder and other developmental conditions.
ABA Therapy helps children with autism by teaching essential life skills such as communication, social interaction, and self-care. It also addresses challenging behaviors by identifying triggers, implementing replacement strategies, and reinforcing positive behaviors, fostering independence and confidence.
While ABA Therapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages, it is particularly effective for children during their early developmental years, between the ages of 2 and 6 years old. Early intervention can lead to more significant progress, but older children and adults can also achieve meaningful improvements through tailored programs.
ABA Therapy employs evidence-based methods such as discrete trial training (DTT) for structured skill-building, natural environment teaching (NET) to promote learning in everyday contexts, and reinforcement strategies to encourage positive behaviors. Each method is chosen based on the individual’s needs and learning style.
The length of ABA Therapy varies depending on the child’s specific goals, challenges, and progress. Some programs last a few months for targeted skill development, while others continue for several years to address a broader range of needs and achieve lasting improvements.
ABA Therapy is grounded in decades of scientific research and has been endorsed by organizations such as the American Psychological Association and the U.S. Surgeon General. ABA Therapy is well researched and findings show that it’s effective in improving outcomes for individuals with autism and related disorders.
ABA therapists are highly trained, certified professionals such as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) or Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). They undergo extensive training in behavior analysis principles, data collection, and individualized program development to ensure quality care. They are also CPR trained and certified.
ABA treatment plans are created based on comprehensive assessments that evaluate the child’s strengths, areas of need, and developmental goals. These plans are tailored to the individual and include measurable objectives, progress-tracking strategies, and regular adjustments to meet evolving needs.
Yes, ABA Therapy often works in conjunction with other therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. This multidisciplinary approach helps address a child’s needs holistically, ensuring well-rounded development.
