What is ABA?
How applied behavior analysis supports development.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-backed method that teaches skills using learning principles. It is the most researched treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
Modern ABA is child-centered and play-based. It focuses on teaching real skills kids need, not just stopping behaviors. Good ABA respects that autistic brains are different while helping kids learn.
ABA programs are run by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Trained behavior technicians deliver it. Each child gets goals made just for them based on what they're good at and what they need.
Evidence-Based
Backed by clinical research and validated outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
What parents ask most about ABA therapy.
ABA can start as early as 18 months. Research shows that early help (before age 5) works best. But kids and teens of any age can benefit from ABA. Programs are changed to fit each age.
It depends on your child's needs and goals. Full ABA programs usually have 25-40 hours a week. Smaller ABA programs focus on specific skills in 10-25 hours a week. Your BCBA will say what's right for your child.
Good, modern ABA is child-centered and play-based. It respects autistic brains. It focuses on teaching skills and communication, not forcing kids to act non-autistic. At Emora, our BCBAs follow ethical rules that put the child first.
Most insurance must cover ABA therapy for autism. Coverage changes by state and plan. Emora's team can check what your insurance covers.
Yes. Online ABA, especially parent-focused help, has good research backing it. Virtual ABA works well for parent training, behavior help, and social skills.
