Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most-studied autism intervention in the United States — and also the most contested. If you have just heard the term from a pediatrician or an evaluation report, you probably have questions, and you may have already run into strong opinions in both directions.
Our job is not to tell you to choose ABA or to avoid it. Our job is to give you enough honest information — including the criticism — to decide well for your own child.
In Bangor and Eastern Maine, ABA-based services do exist, but the market is smaller than in southern Maine, and openings can be scarce. This page walks through what ABA is, why people disagree about it, and the practical steps to access it here.
