Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific study of behavior that uses positive reinforcement to help clients learn. The goals of ABA include increasing adaptive behaviors, such as communication, independence, and social interactions, and decreasing interfering behaviors, such as aggression and eloping (wandering or running away).
Diagnostic Evaluations
Our licensed, doctoral-level clinical psychologists conduct comprehensive clinical psychological evaluations with the goal of helping children, adolescents, and young adults better understand their unique strengths and weaknesses.
