Yes, we are scientists.
Applied Behavior Analysis is an evidence-based science that uses the analysis of human behavior to help improve socially significant behavior. Behavior change is achieved by systematically applying procedures that allow the child to come into contact with reinforcing experiences.
Genesis ABA implements Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy, which means your child will be learning essential skills in a meaningful and supportive way that meets their own individual needs. As a Neurodiversity Affirming Practice, we believe that every child should play the biggest role in the services they are receiving. We wait for the child to give assent before introducing strategies and procedures.

Just like flowers bloom at different paces, we believe that each child has the potential to bloom in their own special way. We take an individualized approach to each child's needs and implement behavior analytic principles to decrease any challenging behaviors that may be hindering growth.
Our clinical team has a wide range of experience in the field of ABA, working with people of various disabilities from ages 1-75. Guided by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) ethics requirements, our clinical team carefully develops behavior support strategies that parents are shown how to implement in their daily lives with their child.
Our hope at Genesis ABA is to be able to provide a sense of belonging to all individuals who would most benefit from our passion of helping others. We understand that open lines of communication, compassion for each individual situation, and consistency are all important elements in achieving meaningful and positive behavior change. Our goal is to help every individual to reach their fullest potential...at their own pace.
