What is ABA?
A Personalized & Evidence-Based Approach to Learning
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-backed approach that supports children in building meaningful skills while honoring their individuality. At Growing Minds ABA Therapy, we use ABA to create enriching, engaging learning experiences tailored to each child’s strengths, interests, and natural ways of interacting with the world. Our goal is not to change who a child is, but to provide them with tools that foster confidence, communication, and independence in a way that feels right for them.
How Does ABA Work?
Rooted in Science, Driven by Compassion
ABA is based on decades of research on how learning happens. By using individualized strategies, we help children develop new skills while reinforcing what already makes them amazing.
Tailored to Your Child
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to ABA. We work closely with families to create a plan that supports each child’s unique needs, ensuring therapy is meaningful, enjoyable, and affirming.
A Supportive, Strength-Based Approach
We focus on what your child does well and build from there. Our therapy is designed to help them navigate their world in a way that feels empowering and natural—not to “fix” or force conformity.
