About White Light ABA
At White Light ABA Therapy, our mission is to empower children and young adults with autism to thrive. Rooted in evidence-based, scientifically proven Applied Behavior Analysis, we provide the highest quality of individualized care for clients ages 2 to 22 — right here in our community.
We take a compassionate, client-first approach to building self-awareness, self-confidence, and meaningful social communication skills. By teaching replacement and alternative strategies, we support the reduction of challenging behaviors in ways that are dignified, effective, and lasting.
At White Light ABA Therapy, every child deserves to be seen, supported, and given the opportunity to shine.
What is ABA?
At its core, ABA is the science of understanding behavior and learning. It looks at why behaviors happen, what triggers them, and what happens as a result and uses that understanding to teach meaningful new skills while reducing behaviors that may be limiting a child's quality of life.
ABA is a team approach. We work directly with the care givers, community care providers, schools/day cares and community outings.
ABA is not a one size fits all. Each child child who receives ABA therapy at White Light ABA Therapy has a fully individualized treatment plan, designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and delivered by trained Behavior Technicians (BTs).
Applied
Applied is a term that we in ABA to focus on skills and behaviors that are meaningful and practical in real life. We want to work on the things that matter most to your child and your family, in the real world, every single day.
Behavior
Behavior refers to anything a person does, says, or communicates that can be observed and measured. In ABA, we look at all behavior.
Every behavior has a reason, and our job is to understand it.
Analysis
Analysis refers to the term that every decision we make is driven by data, not guesswork. We track your child's progress carefully and consistently, so we always know what is working, what needs to be adjusted, and how far your child has come.
