ABA therapy is a form of therapy based on behaviorism that focuses on increasing positive behaviors and reducing negative ones through positive reinforcement and other techniques. It can be used to teach a variety of skills such as communication, social interactions, and self-care. It is typically provided by a team of professionals including a BCBA and a Registered Behavior technician (RBT) where the RBT provides direct therapy and a the BCBA oversees the case. A child may qualify for as much as 30-40 hours per week of direct ABA therapy depending on their individual needs.
