About DIMENSIONS ABA

Research has shown that ABA therapy provides varying benefits  to children and adults of all ages, no matter how early they begin  treatment. Some of these benefits include: 

• Improved sociability
• Enhanced play skills
• Better ability to imitate
• Improved motor skills
• Increased independence in life skills (toileting, eating, dressing, etc.)
• Increased functional and effective communication
• Improved personal connections (with family, caretakers, teachers, etc.)
• Better adaptation to new situations, people, and environments
• Increased attending skills Improved coping skills and flexibility

While ABA is used in many different areas, from brain injuries  and elder care, to business management and behavioral medicine, it is  mostly used to help children with autism. ABA therapy is essential to  teach children to effectively communicate and lead more independent  lives. Whether a child has little or no language skills, difficulty with  self-care, self-stimulates (flapping, spinning, rocking, etc.), or  exhibits aggressive or dangerous behaviors, ABA therapy is customized to  address each child’s specific needs to optimize the best outcomes. ABA  requires a team approach, where the behavior therapist, BCBA,  caregivers, and surrounding community interact cooperatively to create  and enact plans to meet the child’s changing needs from infancy to  adulthood.

Dimensions ABA provides ABA therapy to help children  reach their full potential. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA)  work with the caregivers and children to assess each child’s strengths  and deficits, then customize protocols that foster optimal development  and learning. Every child, family, and situation is special, so the ABA  therapy plan these specialists devise is comprehensive to match those  needs. It is not a universal, or “one-size-fits-all”, approach to the  treatment of autism. The BCBAs develop a plan  for the child  that involves his or her family.
