Community applied behavior analysis (ABA) helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) build skills and manage problem behavior.

How community ABA works

Our board-certified behavior analysts and behavior specialists provide tailored ABA services at a location in the community, such as the home or community setting. As part of a unique treatment plan, behavioral therapists use positive feedback and individualize learning opportunities based on the individual’s interests. Our clinicians help individuals to build communication, social, learning readiness, coping, daily routines and self-care skills, while also decreasing challenging behavior. Since the 1960s, clinicians have used ABA therapy to help people with (intellectual and developmental disabilities) gain new skills and enjoy a variety of positive outcomes.

My child has been at Boundless for years. I don't even have words to describe the hard work and dedication his team has poured into him over this time. It literally has been life-changing.
