About ABA
— and Contemporary ABA
Many things are still unknown about autism, but we do know that applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the most effective form of treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to many years of empirical research. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics considers ABA the gold standard of therapy for individuals with autism.
At AST, we refer to our approach as contemporary ABA to distinguish our therapy from the older, more structured form of treatment. Refined through decades of clinical insights and experience, our contemporary ABA:
 |
Uses data and current research to inform and guide practices and treatment |
|
Integrates the unique needs, interests, culture, and values of your child and family |
|
Makes learning playful, naturalistic, age-appropriate, and fun |
|
Considers you and other caregivers a core partner in your child’s treatment |
