Applied Behavior Analysis

At DINO, we use ABA – an evidence-based approach – to support children facing various developmental or behavioral challenges (including autism, ADHD, anxiety, ODD, etc.).

Our goal is simple: to empower your child to build meaningful friendships, develop positive coping skills, gain independence, and truly thrive.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy approach rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Think of it as understanding why behaviors happen and using proven, positive strategies to help children learn valuable new skills while reducing behaviors that might hinder their progress or happiness.

Every child is unique, so ABA at Dino looks different for everyone! We create completely individualized plans. But one essential ingredient you'll always find? Fun!

We firmly believe that children learn best when they feel connected, safe, and are genuinely enjoying themselves. Building a strong, trusting bond between your child and their therapist is our top priority – it opens the door to learning and growth!

At DINO, we make sure sessions are fun and built around your child’s interests. Whether it's Play-Doh, dinosaurs, or video games, we use what your child loves to teach new skills naturally. Building a strong, positive connection between your child and their therapist is key – it makes learning happen!

What does ABA look like here?

Expert Support, Right at Home

In-home ABA allows us to work directly on skills and behaviors within your family's daily routines. Our skilled therapists partner with you, offering flexible session times (weekdays, daytime, after school) to make therapy convenient.

During sessions, we focus on your child's unique needs, which may include:

  • Reducing Challenging Behaviors

  • Building Flexibility & Coping Skills

  • Improving Communication

  • Increasing Independence

  • Expanding Play Skills

  • Strengthening Foundational Skills

  • Caregiver Support

Taking Skills into the World

At DINO, we believe that ABA therapy shouldn't be confined to just one setting. Our community-based services use naturalistic ABA approaches to help your child practice and master important skills right in the real-world environments where they live, learn, and play.
