Applied Behavioral Approaches

Providing Trauma-Aware & Person-Centered ABA Therapy

At Applied Behavioral Approaches, we are dedicated to helping individuals of various ages with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences learn, grow, and thrive. We integrate trauma-aware principles into our behavior support services. This means we prioritize safety, trust, collaboration, and respect in how we assess and plan interventions. We recognize that past experiences can influence behavior and emotional responses, and we design supports that are empathetic, individualized, and aligned with each person’s comfort, goals, and dignity. Our aim is to create environments where individuals feel secure and empowered as they work toward meaningful progress.

Our Environment

While our Suwanee center is designed to support early learners, we also provide individualized behavior support across the lifespan for older children, adolescents, and adults in the community. Our services extend into real-world settings such as day treatment programs and residential environments like group homes, where clients engage in skill-building and meaningful activities.


 This is manifested in...

  • Whom we hire and consult with (e.g., our BCBA, whose broad clinical experience spans working with both children and adults, and other professionals with developmental expertise across age groups) 
  • The tools and resources we use (e.g., materials and strategies appropriate for developmental and functional goals from childhood through adulthood)
  • How we design and deliver services (e.g., age-appropriate, context-relevant skill goals, whether in home, community, day programs, or residential settings)
  • The skills we focus upon (e.g., play and foundational development for children; daily living, independent functioning, and community participation for older clients and adults)

All services are delivered in supportive, person-centered environments that promote independence, meaningful progress, and life-enhancing skills.


It is our conviction that regardless of age or diagnosis, every person we serve is an individual first, with their own strengths, goals, and potential.

Experienced Therapists

Trauma-Informed Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) & Behavior Support Plans (BSPs)

We conduct FBAs to gain a deeper understanding of why an individual might be engaging in challenging behaviors.

Identify the "Why"

FBAs help us figure out the reasons behind a behavior, such as getting attention, escaping tasks, reduce discomfort, or meeting sensory needs.

Develop Effective Strategies

We use the information from the FBA to design compassionate, individualized support plans that addresses behavior in context and teach meaningful skills while prioritizing emotional safety, trust, and empowerment.

Collaboration

We work with parents, teachers, caregivers, residential staff, day program teams, and other professionals to implement individualized plans and support individuals across home, school, and community settings.
