Confident Minds is currently offering ABA(Applied behavior analysis) services. Our staff includes  BCBAs, BCaBAs and RBTs that have the necessary experience to work with clients with many different types of diagnosis (ASD, ADHD, ODD, Global developmental delay, and others)

Behavior analysis is the science of behavior, with a history extending back to the early 20th century. Its guiding philosophy is behaviorism, which is based on the premise that attempts to improve the human condition through behavior change (e.g., education, behavioral health treatment) will be most effective if behavior itself is the primary focus.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is best known for its success in treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (e.g., ADHD, intellectual disabilities). ABA involves teaching the necessary skills to engage in behaviors that are essential to functioning effectively in the home, school, and community. Through ABA therapies we could attempt to decrease instances of severe problem behaviors that endanger health and safety, and limit educational, residential, or vocational options.

To date, behavior-analytic scientists have conducted thousands of studies to identify the laws of behavior—the predictable ways in which behavior is learned and how it changes over time. The underlying theme of much of this work has been that behavior is a product of its circumstances, particularly the events that immediately follow the behavior. Behavior analysts have used this information to develop numerous techniques and treatment approaches for analyzing and changing behavior, and ultimately, to improve lives.
