Applied Behavior Analysis at North Shore Psychological Services

At North Shore Psychological Services, we use ABA therapy to help individuals reach their fullest potential, one step at a time. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-based therapy focused on improving meaningful behaviors through positive reinforcement. It’s most commonly used to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it can also help people of all ages build valuable life skills, improve communication, reduce challenging behaviors, and foster independence.

How ABA Works
ABA therapy breaks down complex behaviors into manageable steps and teaches new skills using techniques grounded in learning theory. Our trained behavior therapists create personalized treatment plans that are:

  • Data-driven
  • Individualized to each person’s needs
  • Focused on real-world, functional outcomes
  • Collaborate with families, caregivers, and schools

Our Approach to ABA

We believe that every person deserves compassionate, respectful, and effective care. Our ABA team builds trusting relationships and works closely with families to create meaningful progress.

What ABA Can Help With:
  • Social and communication skills
  • Daily living and self-care routines
  • Emotional regulation
  • Academic and pre-academic readiness
  • Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning

Who Can Benefit from ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is most commonly associated with supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but its principles can benefit a wide range of individuals. At North Shore Psychological Services, we use ABA to help children, teens, and adults build meaningful skills and improve their quality of life.
