Focused ABA Services
Focused Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) targets a limited number of treatment goals, generally over a short period of time. These goals can include learning new skills or reducing challenging behaviours. Parent and caregiver training is a key component of focused ABA treatment in order to successfully generalize and maintain skills in a client’s natural environment and to support family and caregivers in managing challenging behaviours (BACB 2014).
