A Behavior Therapist works 1:1 with children/adolescents and teaches skills through play‑based activities.
ABA therapy aims to replace target behaviors (e.g., tantrums, aggression, noncompliance, self‑injurious behaviors) with socially significant behaviors such as speech, play, compliance, self‑care, and increased independence.
