Autism Support in Lehigh County
The autism treatment approach Helping Hands Family uses is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, the most widely recognized and evidence-based treatment for children with autism. ABA therapy is endorsed by the:
- U.S. Surgeon General
- American Psychological Association (APA)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
At its core, ABA therapy focuses on understanding how behavior works and how learning happens. By breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable tasks, children are able to learn step-by-step, which helps them gain confidence and continuously progress. ABA therapy has proven effectiveness in improving communication, socialization, and behavior.
Our ABA therapy programs are guided by three key pillars:
- Child-Led Sessions - Sessions are based on your child’s interests and motivations. We follow your child’s lead to keep ABA therapy engaging, comfortable, and fun.
- Play-Based Therapy - We believe children learn best through play, so we use games to help children build communication, socialization, and problem-solving skills in ways that are meaningful.
- Positive Reinforcement - Celebrating each accomplishment motivates children to keep learning and trying new things. Reinforcements help shape stronger, lasting behaviors.
