They have a great team here. The way they work with parents and the customization and flexibility that is given it so helpful. I really feel like they prioritize the child and the family above an agenda or program. So thankful we found this place!

I wish I could give Cultivate INFINITE stars but they will only allow 5☺️ My son has been a client for a little over a year. Just beginning at the age of 3. I had never left him in anyone’s care before and as uneasy as it was in the beginning, I was quickly put at ease with the way they took care of him.

frequently asked questions

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven, science-based therapy designed to improve behaviors and skills in individuals with autism and developmental conditions. By applying research-backed techniques, ABA helps increase appropriate behaviors, reduce challenging behaviors, and foster independence in everyday life.

As one of the most effective therapies for autism, ABA is often tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Early intervention can maximize progress, with personalized strategies focusing on communication, social interaction, and learning. Families and caregivers play a vital role in the process, working closely with ABA professionals to achieve meaningful results.

If you’re looking for evidence-based autism therapy to help your loved one thrive, ABA offers a pathway to long-term success and growth.

ABA is a one-on-one therapy focusing on several related goals. It helps children with autism spectrum disorder to:

  • Develop social interaction skills
  • Improve communication, task completion, and emotional regulation
  • Gain self-regulation and self-control abilities
  • Apply new behaviors to everyday life
  • Reduce unwanted behaviors

To achieve these goals, ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement, teaches behavior-consequence relationships, and encourages positive change.

The ABCs of ABA are key components of our approach:

  • Antecedents are events or conditions occurring right before a behavior, acting as triggers. Identifying these helps our therapists understand behavior contexts.
  • Behaviors are the observable actions or responses following an antecedent. We focus on analyzing and modifying these.
  • Consequences are the outcomes following a behavior, which can reinforce or diminish it. We teach children how their behaviors lead to specific outcomes, promoting self-regulation and improved social skills.

By helping children grasp these concepts, we empower them to navigate their environments more effectively.

We start by creating a customized treatment plan for each child, with specific behavioral change goals. Family involvement is crucial in developing these goals. Our planning considers each child’s unique needs, skills, interests, and preferences, focusing on:

  • Academic skills
  • Social skills
  • Self-care practices
  • Language and communication skills
  • Motor functioning
  • Leisure and play

Goals are broken into small, incremental steps, with regular progress assessments to adapt to each child’s strengths and weaknesses.

ABA sessions fall into two categories:

Discrete Trial Training (DTT): Similar to a school day, where a therapist works one-on-one with a child on specific tasks, providing positive reinforcement for achievements.

Natural Environment Training (NET): More play-based, helping children navigate everyday situations and ensuring skills translate effectively to real-life scenarios.

Throughout the process, we keep families involved and informed, celebrating progress and addressing challenges together. ABA isn’t just about teaching skills – it’s about opening up new possibilities for your child’s development and independence.
