Through the systematic application of ABA principles, such as reinforcement, prompting, and shaping, our consultants can develop individualized programs to target these essential skill areas. We use evidence-based strategies, such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), and Natural Environment Teaching (NET), to teach and reinforce these skills in a structured and engaging manner.
