ABA Therapy Services in New Jersey

Are you noticing signs of autism in your child and looking for resources to help them? You aren’t alone on this long and confusing journey.

It’s difficult to find the right solution for your child since every child is different—especially when autism is involved. Many parents have found success enrolling their children in ABA therapy. Brett DiNovi & Associates offers ABA therapy in New Jersey to support you and your loved ones.

What Is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavioral Analysis, more commonly referred to as ABA, is a therapy that assists those with certain conditions to develop better emotional and behavioral skills. 

The goal of ABA therapy is to improve the quality of life for those with cognitive difficulties such as motor skill problems, communication struggles, and destructive behaviors.

ABA therapy is built on a foundation of behavioral research. The main focus is to identify stimuli that cause unwanted behaviors and address them by either preventing the stimuli from occurring or encouraging positive responses to the stimuli. 

 

Why Is ABA Therapy Good for Children with Autism?

Many people turn to ABA therapy for children with autism because certain behaviors can make it harder for children to function comfortably. 

Early intervention, like ABA therapy, is especially important for children because they may not understand why certain behaviors are good and some are not. They may not understand their emotional response to specific stimuli.

ABA therapists can help explain why certain behaviors are wanted, and others aren’t. Long-term ABA therapy can change thought processes, behavior patterns, and coping mechanisms—which leads to a more fulfilling life.

It’s important to note that while ABA therapy has a common structure, quality service providers customize their approach based on your child’s needs.
