WHO WE SERVE...

Riley ABA & Autism Center is dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where children can thrive and enhance their skills across various domains, including communication, social interaction, and self-help. We provide both individualized and group learning experiences, allowing us to customize our programs to meet each child's distinct needs. Our commitment ensures that every client receives the frequency, oversight, and high-quality care essential in a therapeutic setting. We proudly serve children and adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ages eighteen months to five years. Each treatment plan is meticulously tailored based on comprehensive assessments to address individual requirements. Our primary aim is to bridge the gap between the skills of each child and those of their typically developing peers.

WHAT IS ABA?

Behavior analysis is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by the environment. "Behavior" refers to all kinds of actions and skills (not just misbehavior) and "environment" includes all sorts of physical and social events that might change or be changed by one's behavior. The science of behavior analysis focuses on principles (that is, general laws) about how behavior works, or how learning takes place. For example, one principle of behavior analysis is positive reinforcement. When a behavior is followed by something that is valued (a "reward"), that behavior is likely to be repeated. Through decades of research, the field of behavior analysis has developed many techniques for increasing useful behaviors and reducing those that may be harmful or that interfere with learning. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the use of those techniques and principles to address socially important problems, and to bring about meaningful behavior change.
