Understanding Our ABA Program

The ABA Home Program provides child behavioral therapy in the comfort of your home, guided by experienced therapists. Additionally, our after-school program offers 1-to-1 Applied Behaviour and interventions aimed at promoting positive behavior and skill development.

Additionally, our after-school program offers 1-to-1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA Therapy) sessions, providing tailored support for each child’s needs.

What is ABA Therapy?

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism develop communication, social, and daily living skills. It is considered the gold standard therapy for autism spectrum disorder and is recommended by major health organizations worldwide.

At Brightstars, our ABA program uses the ABC model (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) to understand and improve behaviors. We focus on increasing helpful behaviors while teaching alternatives to challenging ones.
