What Is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the clinical gold standard for autism treatment that is endorsed by leading medical organizations worldwide.

At HHF Bethlehem, ABA is delivered through three guiding pillars:

Play-Based Sessions – Therapy happens through joyful, interactive, and purposeful play, which drives progress.
Positive Reinforcement – We celebrate progress, both big and small, to build confidence and keep motivation high.
