Question of the month:
What is the difference between Goal-Based and Intensive ABA therapy?
Intensive ABA therapy typically involves more intervention hours over a longer period of time,
(6+ hours a week over 6 months). This allows therapists to target many different skill domains.
Goal based therapy, given its shorter frequency and duration (1-6 hours over 3 months) typically focuses on 1 or 2 key areas of need.
