What is ABA therapy?
Whether you are a concerned parent, sibling, friend, teacher, or any other support for an individual diagnosed with Autism, you know the challenges that are faced with obtaining help! Individuals with autism are often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. ABA therapy is a treatment approach using evidence based practices based around positive reinforcement. Basically, ABA aims to figure out what environmental factor motivates someone and manipulates that factor to achieve the desired behavior.
How Can We Help
PSCA staff uses a team approach to apply ABA therapy to the treatment of children and adolescents on various levels of the spctrem. We are committed to providing compassionate, competent, and creative approaches to help treat the individuals we serve. We don't believe in cookie cutter solutions or a one size fits all approach. Each treatment plan is custom to the individual. We are a small, family oriented company that believes that each individual is more than just a name and number.
Here are some important facts that you may not know:
Boys are 4 1/2 times more likely to be diagnosed with Autism than girls.
Children born to older parents are at greater risk for Autism.
The earlier a child with Autism receives treatment, the better chance of effectiveness.
In 2012 federal NIH budget was $30.86 billion. From this, only $169 million goes directly to autism research. That’s only 0.5% of the total budget!!!
