At Knoxville Center for Autism, we understand the importance of making the right choice for your family. We know that the decision to seek out ABA therapy for your child can be daunting, so we want to help. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) has the potential to help improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it is important to note that you should be aware of providers who seek to “cure” autism. ABA therapy is more about helping people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential, rather than changing who they are. That is why we provide a complete guide to help you to make an informed decision as to whether ABA therapy is right for your child.
