Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy (ABA)

Empowering children to reach their full potential

Unlock your child’s full potential with the power of Behavior Therapy. At MCM Dubai, we prioritize your child’s overall well-being by developing personalized intervention plans designed to cultivate essential adaptive skills, empowering them to thrive in all aspects of life.

Overview of ABA Therapy:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on improving socially significant behaviors such as communication, social interactions and important adaptive skills while reducing challenging behaviors to improve the quality of life of the client and carers. It is widely used for children and adolescents with neurological disorders and developmental delays including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intellectual Disability (ID), Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Down Syndrome (DS), early intervention, behavioral challenges and eating disorders. Individualized intervention plans are tailored to meet the unique needs of each in individual, emphasizing positive reinforcement to encourage desirable behavior while reducing challenging behavior.

Core Components of ABA Therapy:

  1. Skill Acquisition: ABA therapy focuses on teaching essential life skills, including communication, self-help, and academic skills like reading and writing
  2. Behavior Reduction: ABA helps reduce challenging behaviors such as tantrums, aggression, or self-injury by identifying the triggers and addressing the underlying causes
  3. Positive Reinforcement: This is the cornerstone of ABA, where desirable behaviors are rewarded to encourage repetition.

At MCM Dubai a variety of services are offered as part of the ABA therapy services. These include:

  1. Free 60-minute initial consultations with parents/caregivers to determine concerns, observe your child, answer questions and getting to know the therapist.
