Applied Behavior Therapy
Applied Behavior Therapy (ABA Therapy) is an evidence-based intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. ABA is the use of various techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior and skills of individuals such as communication, social, academic, and behavior difficulties (non-compliance, temper tantrums, self-injury behaviors, destructive behaviors, injury to others, etc.) It is the most commonly used intervention in individuals with Autism.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists address the fine motor development, visual motor integration, and sensory integration in order to maximize a child’s ability to function in their everyday life. They also help a child perform self-help skills.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist develops a child’s general gross motor skills and strengthen specific muscle groups so that he/she can safely navigate the environment. Therapy may focus on improving balance skills, overall body coordination, motor planning, and quality of movement. A physical therapist may also assist in making recommendations for adaptive equipment.
