Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children build communication, daily-living, and social skills while reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning. At Intellaplay, every program is play-based and individualized to your child's strengths and your family's goals.
What ages do you work with?
We primarily support young children, where early intensive intervention has the strongest evidence base, but we tailor programs to each child after an assessment. Contact us to talk through whether ABA is a good fit for your child.
