Alternative Behavior Strategies specializes in the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help teach new skills and reduce problematic behavior in children with developmental difficulties, including children on the autism spectrum.  We use a variety of ABA strategies that are researched-based to provide the best possible care for your developing child. While these strategies are individually applied to each specific child, they all work to increase your child’s motivation to engage in appropriate behaviors and reduce the motivation for inappropriate behaviors.

ABA depends on basic principles of behavior modification to effect meaningful changes in the way your child relates with their family, peers, community, and their environment. Known at Alternative Behavior Strategies as “consultants,” behavior analysts apply their knowledge and specialized training to evaluate how your child learns from their environment.
