ABA Therapy Services

ABA therapy is a structured, research-based behavioral approach that helps improve behavior in children with challenges such as autism and developmental delays. ABA helps children build skills that help them thrive and focuses on:

  • Understanding why negative behaviors happen
  • Teaching new skills and behaviors that can help children succeed, such as communication and social skills
  • Reinforcing positive behaviors so they happen more often

At Pediatric Partners, ABA therapy is provided by trained Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Therapists provide ABA therapy in a compassionate, play-based setting with supports tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs.

Challenges ABA Therapy Can Help With

ABA therapy is best known as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it can also support many developmental and behavioral needs. ABA may be appropriate for children with:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
  • Problems making friends or other social challenges
  • Language or communication challenges
  • Disruptive behavior or self-regulation challenges, such as tantrums
  • Difficulty paying attention or staying focused on a task or activity
  • Difficulty with daily living skills such as dressing and feeding

We're here to help

How ABA Therapy Works at Pediatric Partners

ABA therapy at Pediatric Partners begins with a screening to understand:

  • Your child’s current skills and needs
  • Behaviors that may be creating challenges
  • Your family’s priorities, routines, and goals

Treatment tailored to each family’s needs

From this screening, we create a tailored ABA treatment plan for each child and family. ABA therapy sessions are often one-on-one but may also include parent and caregiver coaching. Interventions may include:

  • Play-based teaching – Using play, games, and other fun activities to teach skills.
  • Structured skill building – Breaking down skills into small steps, such as following directions or sharing.
  • Positive reinforcement – Nurturing positive behaviors with rewards such as activities the child enjoys.
  • Communication support – Helping children use verbal language, gestures, signs, or communication tools to express their feelings and needs.
  • Behavior support strategies – Teaching safer, more effective ways for children to express themselves.

How we partner with families

Pediatric Partners provides ABA therapy as part of a broader, family-centered approach. Caregiver coaching is a key part of our ABA services. We help families use ABA strategies during everyday activities such as mealtime, playtime, outings, and bedtime. When appropriate, we work together with:

  • Parents and caregivers
  • Pediatricians and specialists
  • Early Intervention providers
  • Schools
  • Other therapists involved in your child’s care
