At ACES Tempe, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is a science-based approach that helps children and adults learn to improve their communication, social, and daily living skills, as well as address challenging behaviors. Our team of professionals is dedicated to helping patients reach their goals of independence and reducing harmful behaviors through ABA therapy. We invite you to check out our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy to learn more.

At ACES Tempe, we understand that deciding whether or not to pursue Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for your child can be a difficult decision. We believe that ABA should focus on teaching communication skills, introducing productive habits, and reducing harmful behaviors. We caution against providers who look to “cure” autism and urge families to research providers who offer high quality ABA therapy that seeks to empower, not change, children with autism. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to starting and ending ABA therapy.
