What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the gold-standard therapy for autism treatment. It is endorsed by leading medical organizations worldwide.
- U.S. Surgeon General
- American Psychological Association
ABA works by breaking down complex skills into simple, teachable steps, making learning accessible for every child.
At Helping Hands Family, we take ABA therapy a step further by delivering therapy through three key pillars:
- Child-Led Therapy - We follow your child’s interests in guiding each session to ensure therapy feels natural and enjoyable. When children are excited and engaged, learning happens faster and lasts longer.
- Play-Based Sessions - Play is the language of childhood, so we use it to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection. Our therapists integrate games, toys, and activities to make therapy fun while teaching essential life skills.
- Positive Reinforcement -Every accomplishment deserves celebration. By focusing on positive reinforcement, we build confidence and motivate continued progress to create a success cycle for your child.
Through these pillars, children at our autism clinic in Gaithersburg, MD build critical abilities such as:
- Communication and expressive language
- Social interaction and friendship skills
- Self-care and daily routines
- Behavior regulation and coping strategies
- School readiness and academic participation
