At Northern Lakes Community Mental Health in Crawford County, we understand the difficulty of making the right decision for your child. Our complete guide to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy, can help you decide if it’s right for your family. ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to watch out for ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, as the goal of ABA therapy is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Instead, the goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.
