TRUE ABA practices applied behavior analysis, or ABA, which uses systematic, evidence-based methods to improve socially significant behaviors in children with autism. Hundreds of studies have shown that ABA is the most effective form of autism therapy, and it is endorsed by the US Surgeon General. TRUE ABA interventions measure behavior in the home, school, or other natural settings and help a child acquire socially significant behaviors, providing parents with the most reliant ecological assessment. TRUE ABA provides proprietary programming by the behavior analyst that helps children across all levels of autism use their new skills in multiple situations. Home-based therapy allows the child to practice their new skills in their least restrictive environment, without the distraction of other children in crisis. TRUE ABA will be starting a pilot program to help decrease wait times for a Diagnostic Assessment.
