After receiving an GDD diagnosis, the next step is finding a way to improve your and your child’s quality of life. We understand that every child with an GDD diagnosis should be treated uniquely. Our GDD treatment services in Boca Raton, FL, offer specialized solutions to help you or a loved one improve their quality of life.
At Behavior Specialists we provide top-quality, individualized treatment plans to address the challenges associated with GDD and other related disorders. The treatment approach utilized is known as ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapy. Applied behavior analysis applies the principles of learning theory in a systematic  approach to modifying behaviors. The overall goal of ABA therapy is to increase adaptive skills and replacement behaviors while focusing on interventions to diminish maladaptive behaviors. The systematic approach to treatment planning includes identifying how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment and how learning takes place. Considering these elements is crucial to developing a treatment
plan aimed at modifying behavior. Treatment focuses on increasing language abilities, developing communication skills, improving attention, fostering social skills and decreasing problem behaviors
