ABA therapists work one-on-one with clients. Therapy can take place in the client’s home, the clinic, and/or school. ABA therapists utilize highly structured treatment programs developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) that are geared toward the specific client’s developmental and behavioral needs. Therapists will not create these plans themselves. ABA therapists will use principles of behavior analysis to help patients develop skills and verbal behavior while helping create a socially significant change in behaviors, which may include aggressive behavior. Therapists will reinforce socially appropriate behaviors and provide intervention when patients exhibit maladaptive behaviors.
