What is the main goal of modern ABA therapy?

Modern ABA therapy focuses on teaching skills that have a direct and positive impact on a child’s daily life. Instead of prioritizing compliance or surface-level behaviors, high-quality ABA centers its work on functional outcomes like communication, emotional regulation, adaptive behavior, and independence.
Every intervention is individualized, based on continuous data collection, and aligned with the family’s values and priorities. This ensures that progress is both meaningful and sustainable across home, school, and community settings.

Examples

  • Prioritizing communication skills such as asking for help rather than requiring eye contact.
  • Teaching self-care routines like dressing or brushing teeth to increase independence.

When to Seek Support

Seek support if your child is showing challenges in communication, daily routines, emotional regulation, or behaviors that interfere with learning, participation, or safety.
