About

Welcome to Pure Heart Behavioral Therapy. We are an ABA Therapy group located in Middle Georgia. We offer many different programs to help children in our area thrive! Ultimately, our goal for Pure Heart is to keep God at the center of everything we do, which was where the name "Pure Heart" came from. 1 Timothy 1:5 says "The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith." When we are with our families, we want everything we do to be 1 Timothy 1:5 based!

Why ABA?

ABA is considered an evidence-based best practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association. "Evidence based" means that ABA has passed scientific tests of its usefulness, quality, and effectiveness. ABA therapy includes many different techniques. All of these techniques focus on antecedents (what happens behavior a behavior occurs) and on consequences (what happens after the behavior).

ABA therapy can help with developing new skills such as communication, social skills, self-help skills and following directions; shape and refine previously learned skills; and decrease socially significant behaviors such as aggression, property disruption, elopement, and self-stimulatory behavior.​
