What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and how can it help my child?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by the environment. ABA uses principles of learning theory to systematically change behavior. ABA breaks down skills into small, manageable steps and provides rewards to reinforce desired behaviors. ABA therapists collect data to see how effective interventions are, with the goal of improving behaviors that are helpful and decreasing behaviors that are harmful or affect learning.
In this way, ABA is a customizable, evidence-based treatment that is positive and rewarding. It empowers individuals to gain independence by building skills that improve their quality of life. With early intensive ABA therapy, some children can achieve normal functioning, and ABA continues to help individuals across the lifespan.

What Our Clients & Families Say
“My daughter has been using Trudeau services since she was two and a half years old. Now she’s six and a half. When she got diagnosed, I didn’t know if she would be potty trained. If she’d ever say new words. But now she can say “No. Yes. Hello.” Because of them. They are like pretty much a second family to me. They’re they are everything. Everything my daughter has done is because of them.”
