Applied Behavior Analysis Services
Our evidence-based approach helps children develop essential skills and behaviors, fostering independence and enhancing their quality of life.
What is ABA – Applied Behavior Analysis?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is one of the most effective ways to teach children with special needs. We capitalize on Achievement Balance natural environment to promote Incidental Teaching (also called Natural Environment Teaching) where normally occurring situations and the child’s interests facilitate language and learning. Achievement Balance focuses on utilizing the principles of positive reinforcement to increase the likelihood that desired behaviors will occur. ABA therapy is used to teach a wide variety of skills, including requesting, play skills, academic skills, independent and functional daily living skills, and social skills to name just a few.
Customized Treatment Plans with Family Involvement
Once a child is enrolled in ABA therapy with Achievement Balance, they will be assessed by one of our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Our BCBA will conduct a direct measurement with the child, then interview caregivers and afterward review past evaluations and reports. Based on the information gained from the assessment, an individualized treatment plan is written and discussed with the family. The family is integral to the treatment of the child, so it is critical family members agree and endorse the treatment plan.
Applied Behavior Analysis treatment is individualized and generally includes a focus on small (also called discrete) steps towards meeting objectives, an emphasis on understanding the function of behaviors, and ongoing data collection is used to guide treatment decisions. ABA therapy work is provided in small groups and in one-to-one therapy settings. Generally, treatment is initially more intensive with a goal towards fading the intensity of the treatment program and transitioning to less restrictive supports and services.
Our BCBA is integrated into the day-to-day operations of each Achievement Balance Program. Each of our BCBA’s work collaboratively with our therapists, program staff and families to provide the most effective treatment possible. Constant feedback from all involved is fundamental to effective treatment and growth of the child.

Achieve New Heights with Personalized Care
Our ABA therapy is rooted in scientific principles and focuses on improving key behaviors such as communication, social skills, and learning abilities.
Our dedicated team of professionals creates personalized ABA programs tailored to each child’s unique needs. Using positive reinforcement, we encourage desirable behaviors by rewarding progress, making learning enjoyable and effective. This method helps children replace problem behaviors with appropriate actions.
We utilize discrete trial training (DTT), breaking down skills into manageable steps for systematic learning. This structured approach ensures steady progress and mastery of each skill component. Our data-driven process involves continuous monitoring and analysis to track progress and adjust long-term therapy plans as needed, ensuring the best outcomes.
At Achievement Balance, we emphasize the generalization of skills, helping children apply what they learn in different settings, including home, school, and community. Family involvement is crucial; we train parents and caregivers to reinforce positive behaviors, creating a consistent and supportive environment.
