Behavioral Therapy

Behavioral Therapy

Behavioral therapy is a treatment that helps children with autism develop skills to communicate, play, and socialize. A key approach is Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), which focuses on encouraging positive behaviors and reducing challenging ones. Other types of therapy include Pivotal Response Training (PRT) and the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM). These therapies can take place in various settings, such as a clinic, home, or school, and may be provided by a team of specialists.
