Does Your Child Need Our Help?

At ABA Abilities, we work with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Autism is called a spectrum disorder because there is a wide variation in the types and severity of symptoms. Autism begins in early childhood and lasts throughout a person’s life. It may take the form of:

• Having trouble making eye contact
• Having a “flat” intonation when speaking
• Being unable to understand other people’s actions.
• A sensitivity to light, noise, and temperature
• Sleep and digestion problems.
• Mood factors, like easily being annoyed or getting angry.

In all cases, early intervention and early application of techniques like ABA will aid your child in learning skills and coping mechanisms while making impressive strides toward their goals.

If you believe your child is demonstrating behaviors that hold them back, or if they are having difficulty with basic social and self-help skills, such as toilet training and daily living competencies, contact your child’s pediatrician or visit our Parent Resources page for evaluating professionals.

What makes ABA Abilities stand out is that it was conceived of and is led by experienced clinical professionals, not a group of business investors. ABA Abilities, LLC and TEIS Early Intervention share founding partners.   TEIS has been serving children and families through pediatric Early Intervention services for more than 15 years and has an impeccable community reputation in southwestern Pennsylvania.  While a completely separate entity, ABA Abilities and the families we serve benefit from the hiring practices and business model learned through Early Intervention.

Between birth and 6 years of age, your child’s brain is developing at its fastest rate forming a critical foundation. For some children, developmental challenges and disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present roadblocks to progress in language, learning and developing socialization skills.

At ABA Abilities, we work with children 18 months to 6 years old. We help children to adapt to a structured environment with routines and expectations that are typical for preschool, but nevertheless are challenging for children with autism. Your child’s progress at ABA Abilities will make way for success at home and in future school settings from kindergarten and beyond.

Parents are an integral part of the ABA Abilities team. As parents, you will provide input and receive training on the strategies that will help your child to reach individual goals.
