our services

At Atlantic Autism Services, Inc. we embody a team concept involving the client, the client’s family/caregivers, school, and medical providers. We deliver evidence-based ABA therapy by qualified professionals, including a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Licensed Psychologist (LP), Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), and support staff.  ABA services may take place in the home, school, and/or community. We are also able to provide consultation and classroom training in certain circumstances. We are dedicated to providing families with the tools they need to create positive behavior changes.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach used to improve socially significant behavior and promote meaningful change. Through the principles of behavior, we can teach new skills, increase communication, social skills, and daily/functional living skills while decreasing maladaptive behaviors such as tantrums, self-injury, aggression, and non-compliance. Positive behavior, support, and reinforcement are used to motivate each client.  Data is continuously collected to measure the client’s progress and to modify their client treatment plan as needed.

Each program is designed specifically for the client’s needs. Programs start with simple tasks to foster success, then gradually become more complex until the client begins to master a skill. Teaching prompts are gradually faded out until the client can demonstrate the skill on their own. We practice only the most current scientific research in ABA and believe that all progress should be tracked with data. Target skills are broken down into smaller steps so that the learner is provided with a greater probability of achieving success. Breaking skills down into small steps, and teaching the client through a system of repetition and reinforcement allows them more opportunities to be successful, earn rewards, and increase the rate of learning. Skills learned with the client’s therapist are generalized in everyday settings.
