El Paseo Children’s Center for Psychological Assessment

At El Paseo Children’s Center for Psychological Assessment, we understand that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a science-based approach to helping children and adults learn communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while addressing problem behaviors. Our team of experts is here to help you understand everything you need to know about ABA therapy and its primary goal of teaching helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors.

At El Paseo Children’s Center for Psychological Assessment, we want to help you understand if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is right for your child. Our goal is to provide families with the resources needed to make an informed decision on whether ABA is the right therapy for their family. We understand that ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, yet it is important to be aware of providers who look to “cure” autism. We believe that quality ABA therapy should not be used to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Our team is here to guide you through the process of starting and ending ABA therapy, so that your child can reach their fullest potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.
