At Merakey | Altoona, we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family when deciding whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is right for your child. We believe that ABA therapy can help a child improve their communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to be aware of ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, as this is not the goal of high quality ABA therapy. Our goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.
