What is ABA therapy?

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy helps children with autism learn new skills by understanding how each child learns and what motivates them. Therapists break big skills like communicating needs, playing with friends, or getting dressed into small, doable steps, and celebrate every one along the way.

If a doctor or specialist suggested ABA for your child, you're not alone in wondering what that actually means. Here's what it looks like at Minnesota Behavioral Specialists.

What ABA looks like here

  • Built around your child

    No two children with autism are the same. Every plan is individualized to your child's strengths, needs, and goals.

  • Learning through play

    Kids learn best when they're having fun. We meet them at their level with games, toys, and real-life moments.

  • Your child's comfort comes first

    We pay close attention to how your child is feeling and never force participation. Trust comes before teaching.

  • Parents are part of the team

    You know your child best. We work alongside you and help you carry new skills into everyday life at home.

Our Mission

We want to be the go-to support system families turn to after an autism diagnosis. Through working individually with kids and their families, we aim to help children with ASD integrate into their communities successfully, reduce the level of support needed as they grow, and ultimately achieve the goals of each child and family.
