What The Experts Say
There is a vast literature of information on autism/ASD and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). For decades, research has demonstrated that ABA Therapy is the best approach to treat children on the spectrum. We have aggregated a collection of peer-reviewed scientific studies, and websites for your convenience.
We strongly encourage any families who approach us to spend time educating themselves on the field. We are happy to spend time further discussing topics that interest you or that you have questions about.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@allybehavior.com or our contact form.
