What Is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment approach that helps children with autism learn meaningful skills through positive reinforcement. ABA therapy breaks down complex tasks into manageable steps, reinforcing desired behaviors and reducing those that interfere with daily life.

At our Glen Burnie clinic, ABA therapy is is driven by 1-on-1 sessions with a trained behavior therapist under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Each treatment plan is personalized to your child’s specific:

Our ABA therapy in Glen Burnie, is more than structured skill-building, it’s centered around how children naturally learn. That’s why our autism center uses an engaging and flexible model built on our three core pillars:

Play-Based Sessions - Children learn best when they’re having fun, so we incorporate structured play activities into therapy sessions. This builds trust, promotes engagement, and teaches skills in a joyful setting.
Child-Led Treatment - We follow the child’s interests, energy, and readiness to learn. Therapy is adaptable so sessions are always meaningful, motivating, and empowering for each child.
Positive Reinforcement - We use encouragement and rewards to reinforce desired behaviors and skills. This approach builds confidence, creates momentum, and helps children feel proud of their progress.

Benefits of ABA Therapy for Children with Autism

ABA therapy offers far-reaching benefits that go beyond behavior management. At Helping Hands Family, we use ABA to help children not just cope—but thrive. Key benefits include:

Improved Communication: ABA helps children develop functional language skills, whether verbal or through alternative communication methods.
Increased Independence: Through consistent reinforcement and practice, children learn to complete everyday tasks more independently.
Enhanced Social Skills: ABA therapy fosters social interaction, peer engagement, and emotional understanding through structured play and group activities.
Reduction in Challenging Behaviors: Children learn to replace harmful or disruptive behaviors with more appropriate responses.
Stronger Learning Foundations: ABA builds attention span, task persistence, and early academic behaviors—key skills for school success.

ABA therapy is highly individualized, and when delivered early and intensively, it can lead to meaningful long-term improvements in quality of life for both the child and the family.
