ABA therapists utilize a behavior analysis method to provide behavioral improvement for Autism sufferers and others with developmental challenges.

The end goal for ABA therapists is to help patients make changes in behavior that allow them more easily manage social interactions and situations. ABA therapists are trained psychologists.
