We like to think of the real world as our office.
Engage ABA works with Autistic teen and young adult clients in their natural environments — observing and assessing behavior, identifying current contingencies, and then teaching replacement behaviors using reinforcement systems. It’s impossible to say exactly the skills we would work on because this depends on their everyday routines. The aim is for the client to lead as fully an independent life as possible with access to a job, a fulfilling living situation, and social opportunities. We do this in the home, community, school/college, and job settings.
Note:
It’s important to be clear that while Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be used to change behaviors, Engage ABA specializes in those behaviors impacted by their Autism diagnosis. Though a client might be diagnosed with Autism, Anxiety Disorder, and Dyslexia, Engage ABA will only be able to work with an Autism diagnosis. We often collaborate as part of a team to provide holistic treatment.
