Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy (ABA) FAQs

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated approach for building socially meaningful skills and supporting children through challenging behaviors. ABA is widely used to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop communication, social, academic, and life skills. At High Hopes Dubai, all ABA programs are designed and overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).

ABA therapy is widely used to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but it can also benefit children with developmental delays, behavioral challenges, or difficulties with communication and social skills. Programs are individualized to help each child build independence, develop life skills, and thrive at home, school, and in the community.

ABA sessions are structured but engaging, with a focus on reinforcing positive behaviors through evidence-based techniques. Goals may include:

  • Language and communication
  • Functional living skills
  • Academic readiness
  • Supporting children through challenging moments
  • Social and play skills

 

ABA is a data-driven approach. Therapists record and analyze behavior changes over time to continually update goals and strategies for optimal development. All ABA programs at High Hopes Dubai are overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and reviewed regularly during interdisciplinary team meetings, so families always know how their child is progressing.

Yes. While most ABA sessions are one-on-one, we also run social groups where children practice communication, sharing, turn-taking, and emotional regulation in a supportive peer environment — building skills that transfer naturally to school and family life.

The recommended number of ABA hours varies depending on your child’s needs, goals, and level of support required. Some children benefit from a few hours per week, while others may require more intensive programs. Following an initial assessment, our team develops a personalized plan and adjusts it over time based on progress.
