ABA Therapy for Children and Adolescents

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that helps children build meaningful skills and reduce behaviors that get in the way of learning, safety, and independence. At Happy Helpers, every program is individualized and led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

What ABA Looks Like at HHAC

ABA is not a one-size-fits-all program. We start by understanding your child, then build a plan around the skills that matter most to your family.

1. Assessment

A BCBA observes your child, talks with you, and identifies strengths, needs, and priorities across home, school, and community.

2. Individualized plan

We write clear, measurable goals and a treatment plan designed for your child, not a standard curriculum.

3. Ongoing data

Progress is measured session by session so the BCBA can see what is working and adjust quickly.

4. Caregiver training

We teach parents and caregivers practical strategies so progress continues between sessions.
