What Is ABA Therapy? A Parent-Friendly Guide

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is more than a therapy approach. It is a way of understanding how children learn, communicate, and grow. At LittleWins ABA Therapy, we believe every child has unique strengths waiting to shine, and ABA helps us uncover them step by step.
What ABA Really Means
ABA focuses on using positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies to teach meaningful skills such as communication, social interaction, daily living, and play. It is not about changing who a child is. It is about helping them gain tools to connect with the world in their own way.
How ABA Helps Children Thrive
Through structured and play-based activities, ABA helps children learn new skills and reduce behaviors that may be challenging or unsafe. Over time, children gain confidence, independence, and new ways to express themselves.
What Sessions Look Like
Each session is individualized. Your BCBA designs a personalized plan, and your therapist works one-on-one with your child through play, movement, and real-life practice. We focus on small, achievable steps that lead to meaningful change.
The LittleWins Difference
We keep compassion and connection at the heart of every session. Families are active partners in the process, learning, celebrating, and growing right alongside their child.
Because every little win leads to a brighter future. 💙
