Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a type of psychological therapy applied to improve learning, communication, and social skills using reinforcement strategies. Sometimes ABA is also called autism behavioral therapy for its effective results in treating autism in children, but ABA is effective for both children and adults with other psychological conditions.

Learning to be well-versed in your child’s neurodiversity
Step 1- Intake
We work with your child’s physician to understand the nature of their diagnosis, and determine if the Ujala team is capable of providing treatment. We carefully consider your child’s medical history and other conditions which may have an impact on the behavioral health plan.
Step 2- Assessment
We perform an assessment of your child’s verbal, life-skills and behavioral capabilities to place them in the correct cohort and determine their care-plan .
Step 3- Assignment & Care-Plan
Based on the results of the assessment, we will assign your child to a room with specialized staff and similar peers, and develop a care-plan specially tailored to their needs.
Step 4- Parent Involvement
Our care-plans include parent training, which will involve parents working with our BCBAs at a minimum of once a month. We also conduct regular parent meetings and provide progress reports. Guided social support groups with other parents of ASD children are also facilitated at our center.
Step 5- Play Groups
We recognize that play skills and fun are crucial alongside traditional therapy. We facilitate guided play sessions with neurotypical volunteers and siblings of ASD clients for holistic developmental experience.
Ujala Life is focused on creating a comprehensive early intervention treatment program for children and their families.
