What is ABA Therapy

Understanding ABA and How It Supports Your Child

At Howard Intervention Center, we understand that choosing the right support for your child can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here—to walk beside you and help you understand the science behind what we do, and more importantly, how it can truly make a difference.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-based, systematic approach that helps individuals learn meaningful skills while reducing behaviors that may interfere with their growth. ABA is more than just a clinical model—it’s a compassionate, flexible way to teach communication, social interaction, academic readiness, self-help skills, and so much more. It’s about meeting your child exactly where they are and helping them reach their fullest potential.

What makes ABA so effective is its individualized approach. Skills are broken down into manageable steps and taught at a pace that fits your child’s unique needs. As your child masters one skill, we build on that progress—celebrating each win along the way.

ABA is backed by decades of research and is recognized as a safe, effective method for helping individuals with autism lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Our goal is to create a learning environment that is not only structured and evidence-based, but also warm, supportive, and empowering for both your child and your family.

You’re not alone on this journey. We’re here to support you—every step of the way.
