ABA THERAPY SERVICES & AUTISM CLINIC IN HOUSTON, TX

However, Applied Behavior Analysis principles are used in our clinic and in the Speech For Life Therapy Center, P.C. for all children who are learning speech (how sounds are produced) and language (how words connect to form thoughts and to communicate)skills. With Applied Behaviro Analysis, small tasks are taught that are the prerequisites needed to learn speech and language.
