A goal of Colorful Minds ABA is to decrease maladaptive behaviors and increase socially appropriate behaviors. Beyond this, achieving their potential to demonstrate age-appropriate behaviors and function satisfactorily in natural environments (home, school, community) is a tangible goal we strive to help them achieve.

It is not sufficient for our children to demonstrate behavioral change with just a Colorful Minds ABA therapist or clinician. Generalization comes from our children learning to respond in age appropriate ways to stimuli and people in a variety of natural situations and locations.

Behavioral therapy is particularly well suited to help children acquire the academic, developmental, cognitive, social and life skills in which they have deficits relative to age appropriate behavior.

Comprehensive ABA produces positive changes in specific skills that impact global measures of functioning, including adaptive living skills, communication skills, social skills, play skills, and community safety.
