ABA Therapy for Children Across Stamford, Greenwich & Norwalk, CT Applied Behavior Analysis Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based treatment and is widely recognized as the single most effective treatment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In fact, ABA has been endorsed as an effective intervention for autism by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the United States Surgeon General. For treatment to be most effective, it must be intensive. Research studies on the effectiveness of ABA interventions found that in order for treatment to be most effective, the recommended hours of treatment for each individual must be administered. With this in mind, it’s important to have a trustworthy and experienced team to treat your child. At The SEED Center, our staff is comprised of Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians. Each of our team members has the knowledge to provide ABA therapies for young children and more independent adults.
