Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is defined as the science in which the principles of the analysis of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant behaviors. ABA uses principles and procedures to increase skill deficits (things we don’t do enough of) and decrease skill excesses (things we do too much of). ABA focuses on why the behavior occurs and replaces it with functionally appropriate replacement behaviors.
Why Choose In-Home ABA Therapy?
Families choose ABA therapy because it offers a personalized, evidence-based approach to understanding and enhancing their loved one’s behaviors. Rooted in science, ABA tailors interventions to individual needs, ensuring meaningful improvements in real-world settings. By addressing behaviors where they naturally occur, like at home, and actively involving family members, ABA fosters consistent, lasting positive change, making everyday life smoother and more joyful for everyone involved.

Ease & Flexibility

How Does ABA Therapy Work?
Assessment
Before any intervention begins, a thorough assessment is conducted. This often involves the use of standardized tools and direct observation to identify and define behaviors of interest.
Goal Setting
Based on the assessment, specific and measurable goals are set. These can range from decreasing challenging behaviors (like self-harm or aggression) to increasing desired skills (like communication or social skills).
Data Collection
Continuous data is collected on the targeted behaviors to ensure that any interventions used are effective. This data-driven approach allows for ongoing adjustments to the therapy, ensuring it remains effective.
Developing a Behavior Plan
Based on the goals and baseline data, a behavior intervention plan (BIP) is developed. This plan outlines the strategies that will be used to increase desired behaviors and decrease undesired ones.
Intervention
The core of ABA! Using a mix of teaching strategies, behaviors are then reinforced (strengthened and encouraged) or punished (weakened and discouraged). A common technique is “positive reinforcement,” where a behavior is followed immediately by something pleasant to make that behavior more likely to occur in the future.
Generalization
A critical component of ABA is ensuring that skills learned are not just applicable in therapy sessions but across different environments, situations, and people. Therapists work to ensure behaviors are generalized to broader life scenarios.
Evaluation
Regular reviews of the collected data are conducted to assess the effectiveness of the interventions. Based on these reviews, the behavior plan may be tweaked as necessary.
Collaboration
Often, ABA doesn’t involve just the individual and the therapist. Parents, teachers, and other caregivers are trained and involved, ensuring that consistent strategies are used across all environments.
Early Intervention Services
At ITD Group, we believe in the power of proactive care. Our specialized early intervention services harness the transformative impact of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to shape positive behaviors and skills from the start. Every child’s journey is unique. Our vision is to establish a profound foundation that not only fosters momentary strides but catapults them into a future of self-reliance, promise, and growth.
Solid Foundations
Anchor critical skills in communication, adaptability, and social engagement during the initial stages of a child’s growth.
Reinforcing The Positive
By using ABA techniques, we emphasize preferred behaviors, setting the stage for permanent and positive shifts.
Empowering Families
At the heart of our approach lies the belief in making families key contributors, guiding and supporting them to be hands-on in their child’s developmental trajectory.
ASD Evaluations
A diagnosis isn’t just a label; it’s the gateway to understanding. At the ITD Group, we believe in the transformative power of accurate and comprehensive Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) evaluations. By pinpointing specific needs, strengths, and developmental markers, we open the door to tailored interventions and a clearer path forward.
Why ASD Evaluations Matter
- Early Detection: The sooner autism is identified, the earlier interventions can start. Early tailored strategies can significantly influence a child’s developmental trajectory.
- Tailored Support: Understanding the specifics of a child’s autism allows for customized support plans. No two individuals with ASD are the same, and evaluations help in distinguishing the unique needs of each one.
- Empowerment for Families: A clear diagnosis not only provides clarity but also equips families with the information they need to make informed decisions and advocate for their loved ones.
