What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a systematic, evidence-based approach that uses principles of learning and behavior to build new skills and reduce challenging behaviors. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective interventions available for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

ABA focuses on understanding why a behavior occurs and then applying structured, measurable strategies to promote positive behaviors and reduce those that interfere with learning or daily life. Every program is completely individualized β€” there is no one-size-fits-all ABA.

At Shreya Centre, we apply ABA in a warm, child-friendly way. Sessions are never harsh or robotic. Our therapists create meaningful learning opportunities through activities, games, and natural daily routines that respect each child's personality, move at their pace, and celebrate every step of progress.

1:1 Therapy Sessions

Structured, individualized sessions with a trained therapist using Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), and other evidence-based methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ABA appropriate for all children with autism?
ABA can be beneficial for children across the autism spectrum β€” from those with minimal verbal skills to those who are higher functioning. The intensity and focus of the program is tailored to each child's individual needs and profile.
Is ABA only for young children?
While early intervention produces the best outcomes, ABA is effective at any age. Older children and adolescents can benefit significantly from skill-building and behavior support programs based on ABA principles.
How many hours of ABA therapy are recommended?
Research suggests that intensive ABA (20–40 hours/week) produces the best outcomes for young children with significant needs. However, even less intensive programs (10–15 hours/week) produce meaningful gains. We will recommend the appropriate intensity based on your child's assessment.
Will ABA change my child's personality?
Absolutely not. ABA builds skills and reduces behaviors that cause distress or limit opportunity β€” it never aims to suppress a child's personality, interests, or authentic self. Our approach is always respectful, child-centred, and attuned to each child as an individual.
