Based in Chattanooga and serving local areas in Georgia and Tennessee, Siskin Children’s Institute is pleased to offer applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy to Marietta families. Our nonprofit organization has helped improve the lives of children with special needs for over 70 years, and we are dedicated to seeing your child succeed as well. Our Marietta ABA therapists work with children aged 18 months to 12 years old.
ABA therapy is an evidence-based approach that aims to support children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. A common type of autism therapy, ABA therapy focuses on facilitating the acquisition of new skills and behaviors, while simultaneously reducing unwanted behaviors. By using ABA therapy, children may enhance their focus, memory, communication, and social skills, as well as improve their academic performance.
Siskin’s team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) will be available to work with your child. They will collaborate to develop a personalized therapy plan that caters to your child’s and family’s specific needs. The therapy can be conducted in various settings, including home and school. Studies have shown that effective outcomes are most likely achieved when children receive 20-30 hours of therapy per week.
To start ABA therapy, your child must first have an official autism diagnosis. Families seeking prompt evaluation for their children are encouraged to visit Siskin’s Chattanooga and Nashville locations, where they can be seen within 1-2 months. This is a significantly shorter timeframe compared to the 6-12 month wait time that many families encounter.
If you’re interested in having your child evaluated for autism, you should consult your pediatrician and request a referral to Siskin. Our team offers in-home ABA therapy services locally and other autism services to Marietta families through our Chattanooga clinic.
