About Innovations Developmental Solutions: Innovations Developmental Solutions offers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services in the Longmont, Broomfield, and Thornton areas. Pediatric ABA Therapy focuses on teaching children the foundational skills needed to be successful in the home, school, and community. Effective strategies are used to teach functional communication, social, developmental, and adaptive skills while replacing challenging and often socially inappropriate behavior. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based, scientific approach to behavior and learning. As a medically prescribed developmental therapy, ABA uses instructional strategies and intervention techniques to teach individual learners, their caregivers and family members more effective ways of behaving and interacting with their environments to get needs met. The child and their family members are included in therapeutic goal development and treatment planning. Families learn effective strategies and transfer those learned techniques from the clinic setting to their home and assist their child in leaning skills needed to be successful. Applied Behavior Analysis is proven effective working with children with a developmental delay, an autism spectrum disorder, and other disabilities. The science of ABA is also applied in other areas such as education, sports, Behavioral Pediatrics, Public Health, Brain Injury Rehabilitation, health and fitness, Behavioral Gerontology, Treatment of Substance Use Disorders, Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), prevention and intervention of child maltreatment, Sustainability, Clinical Behavior Analysis, with other fields and learner populations.
