At Oakland University Center for Autism Research, Education and Support (OUCARES), we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family when considering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for your child. OUCARES promotes ABA as a means of improving communication skills, introducing productive habits, and reducing harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to be aware of potential providers who look to “cure” autism, as this is not the goal of high quality ABA therapy. The goal of ABA is to help individuals learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you start and end ABA therapy, OUCARES has created a comprehensive guide for you to reference.
