Applied Behavior Analysis deals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. The term “spectrum” in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity.
Autism spectrum disorder includes conditions that were previously considered separate — autism, Asperger’s syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder and an unspecified form of pervasive developmental disorder. Some people still use the term “Asperger’s syndrome,” which is generally thought to be at the mild end of autism spectrum disorder.
Autism spectrum disorder begins in early childhood and eventually causes problems functioning in society — socially, in school and at work, for example. Often children show symptoms of autism within the first year. A small number of children appear to develop normally in the first year, and then go through a period of regression between 18 and 24 months of age when they develop autism symptoms.
While there is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, intensive, early treatment can make a big difference in the lives of many children.
Work problems, going away to school, an illness, death of a close family member or any number of life changes can cause stress. Most of the time, people adjust to such changes within a few months. But if you have an adjustment disorder, you continue to have emotional or behavioral reactions that can contribute to feeling anxious or depressed.
At Impireum, we don’t just focus on symptoms, we focus on what connects them. How you feel, how you function, and how you relate to others all matter. That’s why our care goes beyond quick fixes. We take time to understand you as a whole person, so your treatment doesn’t just help you feel better, it helps you live better.
We start by thoroughly evaluating behaviors, communication skills, and developmental levels. This helps us understand unique challenges and strengths. Collaborating with you and your family, we identify clear, personalized goals to target meaningful improvements that fit your daily life and long-term growth.
Based on the assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan using proven ABA techniques. The plan includes specific reinforcement strategies and measurable objectives designed to encourage positive behaviors and skill acquisition, ensuring interventions remain flexible and effective as progress unfolds.
