What is ABA Therapy?

Understanding the science behind your child's growth.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold standard in autism therapy, backed by decades of research and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Surgeon General, and the National Institute of Mental Health.

ABA therapy works by understanding how your child learns best, then using positive reinforcement to help them build essential skills — from communication and social interaction to daily living and academic readiness.

At Spectrum ABA, we believe therapy should feel like play. Our sessions are designed to be engaging, fun, and motivating for your child — because the best learning happens when kids are happy.

Every program is designed specifically for your child.

Measurable

We track progress with data, so you can see real results.

About Spectrum ABA Therapy

Your partner in your child's journey.

Spectrum ABA Therapy was founded in 2014 by Dr. Emily Hartwell, BCBA-D, with a simple belief: every child deserves access to high-quality, compassionate ABA therapy — and every family deserves a partner who truly listens.

What started as a small practice has grown into a team of 40+ certified therapists serving over 500 families. But no matter how much we've grown, our values haven't changed.

We know that choosing ABA therapy is a big decision. Parents come to us with questions, worries, and hopes. We honor all of it. Our team takes the time to understand your child's unique strengths, your family's goals, and the challenges you face — and we build a program that fits your life.

When your child succeeds, we celebrate together. When things get hard, we problem-solve together. That's what partnership means.
