Ideal for children between the ages of 18 months and 12 years, applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is the leading therapy recommended for children with autism. Although helpful in improving social skills, memory, focus, and more, the main goal of applied behavior analysis therapy is to increase positive, helpful behaviors and decrease unwanted behaviors.

Siskin is pleased to be a leading provider of ABA therapy, serving patients from Dalton and other parts of north Georgia. Just a short drive to our Chattanooga Clinic, our therapists work to develop a treatment plan that works best for your child and family. Research suggests 20-30 hours of therapy per week produces the best results, however, our team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) can participate less or more than this recommended amount. Our ABA therapists are flexible in creating a personalized therapy plan that works within your family’s schedule.
Your child will need an autism diagnosis before starting our ABA therapy program. This process can take up to a year, however at Siskin, we often see patients at our Chattanooga center within just 3-4 months. If you’re interested in receiving an autism evaluation, contact your child’s pediatrician for a referral to our Chattanooga office. You can also visit our Nashville location for autism testing if you’d prefer.
