But you see their strengths — and at theraplayABA, we do too. We're here to bring it to life.
Harness the positive power of ABA therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based, data-driven therapeutic approach. It is considered the gold standard of treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delays.
Through positive reinforcement, active play, and lots of practice, theraplayABA’s ABA therapists encourage positive behavior growth and help your child communicate, engage in social play, reduce the frequency of their tantrums and build fundamental life skills.

Many Techniques. One Direction: Forward
No two children with an ASD diagnosis are the same, and so, at theraplayABA, no two treatment plans are alike. Our team carefully determines and develops the perfect treatment path forward for your child, applying some of the specialized techniques below. Ensuring every service we provide is the most effective one has led to measurably better outcomes for the children we work with.
Applied Behavior Analysis
This individualized curriculum is designed according to your child’s needs. It teaches communication, social interaction, and functional and adaptive skills. Your behavior technician will work closely with your BCBA, encouraging your child to adapt new skills by gently prompting and positively reinforcing desired behaviors.
Natural Environment Training
Here, we teach your child how to translate and apply the skills they’re learning throughout their everyday life. We do so by incorporating the desired skill or behavior within the context of an activity and continually building upon it.
Discrete Trial Trainings
This technique addresses a specific target or a small set of targets, one at a time. Examples include following directions, getting dressed, and communication skills such as making sounds and requesting items.
Pivotal Response Training
A specialized approach where our child takes the lead, choosing from a group of activities offered by their therapist. This encourages children to develop their own internal motivation to perform specific behaviors.
Early Start Denver Model
A specialized approach sometimes utilized by our BCBAs, ESDM uses play-based activities that incorporate several goals at once to build communicative social relationships.
Verbal Behavior
Encouraging your child to interact and become more communicative by building their overall communication skills.
