ABA Therapy Scholarship

Autism is a developmental disorder that challenges an individual with things such as social skills, communication, lack of coordination, short attention span, and so much more. I used to live beside a little boy named Bryson who has autism, he was one of my little brothers friends and they played just about every day after school so I got the pleasure of meeting and getting to know him. He was such a sweetheart and it was obvious that he left a special place in your heart if you were lucky enough to meet him. Bryson did not let his autism prevent him from playing daily and living life to the beat of his own drum. He and his family have moved but me and my family make sure to keep in contact with him because it was almost as if he became apart of our family, we love Bryson for who he is and we saw past his disorder. Applied behavior analysis is a form of therapy commonly used for improving things such as communication, proper hygiene, interacting with others, and so much more.Those living with Autism struggle with those kinds of things and ABA helps to aid them in those areas. ABA is a intensive treatment that uses methods of positive reinforcement to help improve whatever that person or child may be lacking in. Those that suffer from Autism may be different but they are not any less than us.
