DIRECT THERAPY (Early Childhood and school-aged children)

Ability ABA offers direct one-to-one in-home and community-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy in Dallas for early childhood and school-aged children. Our in-home and community-based ABA therapy is individualized and naturalistic, with a focus on applying those new skills and strengths to the natural environment.

The Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct an assessment and then collaboratively create a treatment plan with meaningful goals for your child. Intensity of services is individualized, and parent, caregiver, and sibling involvement is encouraged throughout therapy.

For early childhood intervention for young children with autism, our team is trained in the Early Start Denver Model and utilizes ABA principles with a naturalistic approach. For school-aged intervention for children with autism, a variety of comprehensive evidence-based ABA principles and techniques are used to create meaningful change and outcomes for your child.
