ABA Therapy

We teach essential living skills, reduce problem behaviors, foster interpersonal communication, and facilitate community integration for all ages.

How ABA Works

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific study of human behavior that promotes meaningful change by making informed, precise, data-based decisions.

One of the main underlying principles of ABA states that behavior is maintained by its consequence(s), so it is at this level where the most effective interventions should be focused. In order to positively influence behavior, we must understand the impact of the consequences which currently reinforce it, and then identify the environmental circumstances that will promote the desired change.

The LifeSpeed team facilitates behavior change by utilizing evidence-based techniques that have proven effective in the fields of psychology and education for over 50 years. Traditionally, ABA has been used when treating individuals living with Autism Spectrum Disorder or other developmental disabilities. However, the broader application of these universal principles of behavior has allowed Board Certified Behavior Analysts to expand ABA services to many other areas, and people, in need.

Early Intervention

Our model of care incorporates a blended approach of in-clinic and in-home sessions based on Dr. Greg Hanley’s Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment. In Hanley’s words, creating an environment in which a person is “happy, relaxed, and engaged” remains the primary goal of ABA; it is within this space of dignified care that LifeSpeed strives to operate.

Our team is committed to facilitating meaningful interactions for our early learners through a trusting therapeutic relationship. We believe that safety is paramount, and our BCBAs focus on building Treatment Plans that highlight skills which are essential for achieving early developmental milestones.

The LifeSpeed team understands that parents know their children best, which is one of the reasons why we value caregiver input so much; collaboration and consistency are the two main keys to the success of any ABA program. Our Therapists will provide targeted support during those times when clients encounter the most challenges.

LifeSpeed aims to equip our adolescent clients with the repertoire they will need when required to manage the dynamic experiences that go along with becoming a young adult.
