Skills Your Children will Achieve
With ABA therapy, children build communication skills, such as initiating and holding conversation, and other ways of social interaction.
A few social skills that can be difficult for children on the spectrum, and that ABA therapy can help with, are understanding social cues, following rules and taking turns.
ABA therapy progressively builds independence, working on skills such as safety awareness, toilet training, executive functioning and, for older individuals, skills that help with job competence.
Children on the spectrum can exhibit a number of problem behaviors that ABA therapy works to reduce, over time, such as difficulty with following rules or directions, tantrums, self-injury or aggression.
