\n\t\tBehavioral Support
\n\t<\/h2>\n

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is a popular intervention approach for individuals with disabilities, especially young children with autism-related disorders. The goal of ABA is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning.]<\/p>\n

Buonora\u2019s ABA therapy program, ABA with a Heart! can help:<\/p>\n

\n
• increase language and communication skills,<\/li>\n
• improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics,<\/li>\n
• decrease problem behaviors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Therapists have used ABA principles to help children with autism and related developmental disorders since the 1960s. They have helped many kinds of learners gain different skills \u2013 from healthier lifestyles to learning a new language (APA.org, 2017).<\/p>\n

  \n\t\tOccupational Therapy
  \n\t<\/h2>\n

  Is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Buonora Centers offers occupational therapy to those 3 months and older. Our occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering
  \nfrom injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.<\/p>\n

  Occupational therapy services typically include:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • an individualized evaluation, during which the client\/family and occupational therapist determine the person\u2019s goals,<\/li>\n
  • customized intervention to improve the person\u2019s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals, and<\/li>\n
  • an outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and\/or make changes to the intervention plan (AOTA.org, 2019).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Our occupational therapists provide therapeutic services that align with occupational therapy principles and aid in the prevention of injury, illness, or disability.<\/p>\n
