Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
ABA is a proven therapy used in the Early Intervention Program to address the developmental needs of children with autism spectrum disorders. While many ABA programs focus on a single educational approach, City Pro incorporates both directive and naturalistic teaching methods tailored to the needs of each child. Developed and overseen by a clinical psychologist who is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), City Pro’s curriculum includes the following six components: 1) discrete trial teaching (DTT), 2) mand training, 3) incidental and natural environment teaching (NET), 4) play, joint attention and socialization skills, 5) self-help and adaptive skills, and 6) functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans.
To ensure consistent and effective care, City Pro provides ongoing training and supervision for all clinical providers.
