At the Bill and Virginia Leffen Center for Autism, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior that helps children and adults learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. Our team of experts is dedicated to helping individuals reach their fullest potential and promote independence with ABA therapy. To learn more about ABA therapy, visit our website and check out our comprehensive guide.
At the Bill and Virginia Leffen Center for Autism, we understand the decision of whether or not to pursue ABA therapy for your child is an important one. That’s why we provide resources to help you make the best decision for your family. Our guide will help you understand what applied behavior analysis (ABA) is, how it seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, and why it’s important to be aware of ABA providers who look to “cure” autism. We also emphasize the importance of high-quality ABA therapy that respects and celebrates your child’s unique personality traits. Our guide will help you start and end ABA therapy with confidence.
Contact Phone number is (417) 347-7850.
