Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and modifying behavior that is approved by the Surgeon General and FDA to treat autism. Experts recommend 30-40 hours per week of early intensive ABA instruction for children with autism. The Kalamazoo Autism Center provides one-on-one ABA services to students focusing on communication, daily living, and academic/social skills. Services are offered at affordable rates starting from $160-600 per week depending on the number of hours.
