Jumpstart Autism Center’s Autism Treatment and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
There are a lot of ideas and perceptions about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), but at its core ABA examines the relationship between the behavior and an individual’s environment. After collecting this data, ABA then systematically applies interventions to modify the environment in order to change an individual’s behavior. ABA is based on the research and principles of learning theory (e.g., operant conditioning). ABA’s primary goal is to improve socially significant behaviors (e.g., communication, social skills, play skills, adaptive living skills, motor skills, sensory processing difficulties, and toileting). In addition, we have extensive data collection procedures that allow us to make data based clinical decisions and to determine if our interventions are having the desired affect.
No two individuals have exactly the same skills or learning style. That’s why our behavior analysts develop and track individual treatment plans for every child. Your child’s ABA treatment plan at JAC will consist of individualized instruction, instruction in dyads, and small-group work in a way that works for your child.

Jumpstart’s ABA Services
The ABA services your child receives at JumpStart Autism Center will be consistent with national standards and delivered by highly trained interventionists. We believe all children have the power and ability to learn, are curious and creative, and can succeed when the environment is modified to meet their needs.
JAC specializes in Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions (EIBI) and ABA therapy. We utilize the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) and/or the PEAK Relational Training System (PEAK) to guide and monitor each child’s treatment plan. We provide ABA services at our clinic, in the family’s home, and in the community.
JAC’s Service Programs
We specialize in the treatment for individuals of all ability levels between the ages of 1-year to 12-years of age. Based on your child’s needs, abilities, and assessment at intake, they will receive services in our Early Learner Program, Transition Readiness Program or Intensive Support Program. Placement of learners into programs that address their developmental abilities allows us to meet the diverse needs of such a large age group while maximizing each individual learner’s progress.
All of our service programs utilize evidence-based practices and a precise data collection system to accelerate your child’s learning and to keep our staff at the forefront of autism services.
