In our 12-week program, we make parents the expert in their child's behavior. In traditional ABA therapy, therapists work one-on-one with your child. At Behavior Essentials, we focus on the parents and take the time to give them the skills they need to address their child’s behavior properly. Our therapists work hard to create measurable change in children behaviors over the 12-week program.
