"ABA is considered an evidence-based best practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association. 'Evidence based' means that ABA has passed scientific tests of its usefulness, quality, and effectiveness." The Knapp Center utilized evidence-based treatment so that children can reach their optimal potential.
