Get to know Apara Autism Center! The company offers evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, caregiver ABA training, feeding therapy programs, and speech and language therapy programs. Witha a new location opened recently opened at 121 Vision Park Drive, Ste. 250, The Woodlands, TX 77584, Apara Autism Center is now enrolling!

ABA therapy is an evidence-based treatment for individuals diagnosed with Autism or related disorders derived from years of scientific research. Studies show that early intervention, sometimes as young as 18 months, can improve abilities in children diagnosed with Autism.

"The earlier intervention can begin, the better for long-term outcomes." - Center For Disease Control

ABA therapy helps individuals learn new skills, change behaviors and improve their quality of life. ABA therapy can help with various disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental disorders such as Down syndrome.

Through positive reinforcement, kids are taught what a parent expects in certain situations and are rewarded when they follow those expectations. This helps them understand social rules and boundaries while also giving them tools for future success. When implemented at an individualized level, ABA Therapy can decrease challenging behaviors while increasing appropriate and wanted behaviors such as communication and daily living skills.

"I have a strong passion for early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI). I believe ABA is a proven and effective method of teaching children with Autism, and it is a great privilege to collaborate with families and team members to help individuals learn the skills they need to live a more independent life. "Alexa Kramer, Clinical Director at Apara Autism Center The Woodlands

Apara Autism Center in The Woodlands, TX, is a center-based program dedicated to the principles of ABA Therapy. Their BCBA's create individualized ABA treatment plans for each client based on their initial and ongoing assessments and collaborate with the family and community resources to help your child reach their fullest potential.

Feeding Therapy

Apara's feeding therapy program is designed to work with those individuals who engage in problem behaviors around eating new or common foods.

The Apara Autism Center's feeding program will also be individualized and implemented with additional parent/caregiver consent after all physiological and oral-motor concerns are ruled out by medical professionals.
