Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on building meaningful skills through individualized, evidence-based strategies. At LCBWA, we center our approach around your child’s strengths while promoting communication, independence, and positive behavior.

In this section, you’ll find information on what ABA is, how sessions work, what role you play as a caregiver, and what to expect as your child begins services with us.
