Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy – Behavior Support and Skills Development

At Compass Center, Inc., we are dedicated to transforming the way children learn and thrive through our Behavior Support and Skills Development Program. Using a play-based and naturalistic approach, we create engaging learning experiences that foster meaningful growth.

What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment designed to support children experiencing developmental delays, including Autism and Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. Our team of specialists (BCBAs, BCaBAs, and RBTs) works closely with families to create individualised treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Our Approach

We focus on developing essential skills across various domains, including:

• Social & Emotional Skills
• Play & Functional Communication
• Adaptive Living & Self-Advocacy
• Executive Functioning & Problem-Solving

Through learning through play, we integrate therapy into everyday experiences, ensuring a fun and engaging environment where children naturally build confidence and independence. We also collaborate with healthcare providers and educational specialists to ensure a well-rounded approach to care.

By inspiring lifelong learning and nurturing a passion for growth, our mission is to unlock each child’s full potential—empowering families and transforming lives.

ABA Program Vision Statement

Our vision is to reform the therapeutic process of how children learn and thrive during the treatment. Through a foundation of evidence based-practices and naturalistic teaching treatment implementation, we aim to make a lasting impact by inspiring lifelong learning and igniting a passion for growth in every individual we serve.
