Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

What is applied behavior analysis (ABA)?

ABA employs the science of learning and behavior to examine how your environment can influence your actions. Inneris Wellness Center uses structured strategies to teach you new skills and promote positive change, tailoring your treatment plan to your unique needs, strengths, and goals.

ABA services start with functional behavior assessments (FBA). An FBA helps your provider identify the root causes of behaviors (such as communication difficulties, sensory sensitivities, or unmet needs) so their approach can be both effective and compassionate. 

Based on this assessment, they design targeted strategies to help you develop skills and reduce behaviors that don’t serve you.

ABA services can take place in multiple settings. In addition to center-based ABA interventions, Inneris Wellness Center provides individualized in-home ABA therapy to help you practice skills in real-life situations.

How can applied behavior analysis help me?

ABA can help people of different ages and developmental levels improve:

• Communication
• Social interaction
• Daily living skills
• Emotional regulation

For example, ABA can help your child learn how to request needs appropriately, follow routines, or engage more comfortably with their peers.

Because ABA focuses on measurable progress, you’ll be able to see clear improvements over time. Inner Wellness Center breaks skills down into manageable steps and teaches them systematically, which helps build confidence and independence. 

Another major benefit is the inclusion of evidence-based parent training and consultation. The team has the experience to teach caregivers practical strategies to reinforce skills, address challenging behaviors, and support progress outside therapy sessions. 

All of this means that families can have fewer daily struggles and more positive interactions at home.

What can I expect from applied behavior analysis?

The ABA process typically begins with an initial assessment, including a functional behavior assessment, to understand current behaviors, strengths, and areas for growth. From there, Inner Wellness Center designs a customized treatment plan with clear, achievable goals.

During therapy sessions, whether in the center or at home, you can expect structured, tailored, and engaging activities. 

Inneris Wellness Center uses positive reinforcement, prompting, and repetition to teach new skills and shape behavior over time. Sessions are interactive and even playful, so learning isn’t only effective but enjoyable.
