ABA is the only FDA approved treatment for autism. ABA encourages positive behaviors and discourages negative behaviors. In addition, ABA teaches new skills and applies those skills to new situations.
ABA is the process of systematically applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree, and to demonstrate that the interventions employed are responsible for the improvement in behavior. Over the past 40 years, several thousand published research studies have documented the effectiveness of ABA.
ABA can cost $30,000 to $100,000 per year, and only some medical insurance companies cover the cost, and for individuals ten years and older, the amount is capped at $36,000 annually.
