Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science dedicated to the understanding and improvement of human behavior. Our Behavior Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) at BCA in Wilmington focus on defining behaviors of social significance, sometimes referred to target behaviors.

Once an effective intervention has been implemented, on-going data collection occurs.

This option allows us to create functional goals and routines that help the child as well as the whole family.
