A warm, evidence-based program that helps children with autism build meaningful life skills — one small step at a time.
Get Started Today →ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis — a research-backed therapy that uses the science of learning to help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) build practical, everyday skills.
At Guidepost ABA, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design a fully individualized plan for each child. Our skilled therapists then work one-on-one using positive reinforcement, structured teaching, and natural play — so every session moves your child closer to their goals.
"ABA is not about changing who your child is — it's about giving them more tools to communicate, connect, and thrive in the world around them."
ABA helps children develop meaningful skills across every area of life, while also reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning and safety.
Verbal and nonverbal skills — speaking, gesturing, eye contact, and understanding others.
Turn-taking, starting conversations, peer play, and forming lasting relationships.
Imitation, matching, categorization, and following directions for classroom success.
Daily routines like handwashing, dressing, and potty training for independence at home.
Replacing unsafe behaviors with safer, more effective ways to express needs.
Parents learn strategies to reinforce skills at home, not just in the therapy room.
Our BCBAs and therapists blend two core ABA methods — both backed by decades of research — to match how your child learns best.
Skills are broken into small, manageable steps. Each trial involves a prompt, your child's response, and positive reinforcement. Great for introducing new skills step by step.
Learning happens through play and activities your child already enjoys. Therapists create teaching moments in real-life situations — so skills generalize beyond the therapy setting.
Every child's goals are personalized and developed together with your family. Here are examples of real goals your child might work toward:
Every day is warm, structured, and full of progress. Here's what your child's day looks like with us:
Your child is welcomed by their therapist. We take time to make sure every child feels safe and settled before the day begins.
Your child works toward their personal goals through structured activities, games, movement, and play.
Therapists collect data every session. Your child's BCBA reviews this and adjusts the plan as your child grows.
Kids rotate between therapists so skills generalize to different people, places, and situations — not just the therapy room.
We send photos and progress updates so you always know what your child is doing and achieving in real time.
At day's end, your child's BCBA shares highlights and practical strategies to reinforce learning at home.
ABA is the most studied, most endorsed therapy for autism — recognized by the US Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association as an evidence-based practice.
