ABA – Centro de Terapias Comportamentais intends to address behavioral, cognitive and emotional difficulties presented by individuals of all ages, through the application of evidence-based behavioral strategies, supported by decades of scientific research. 

The issues we address include, but are not limited to, autism; dyslexia; phobias; anti-social behaviour; ADHD; ADD; motivation; and siblings relationship. Our intervention model is individualized and applied in the natural setting whenever appropriate.

Every intervention is applied by our team of specialists, who is composed of licensed psychologists who received intensive training in the application of ABA strategies to different situations in a variety of settings. We intervene in all relevant contexts, such as home, school, and the community. Each intervention plan is based on a comprehensive evaluation process, which includes direct observations, interviews, and testing.

The Center also offers group activities, such as supervision for professionals, social skills training groups, and parents-coaching. These are services based on unique intervention models designed by our team and collaborators.

The main characteristic of every intervention is its being data-based, where progress is recorded and analyzed quantitatively and objectively, serving to guide further decision and application. In addition, we pride ourselves on achieving a high degree of cooperation and consistency between and across all intervenient parts, such as the family, school, and health professionals. 

ABA – Centro de Terapias Comportamentais is managed by Ideiaba, Lda., and currently serves as its main project, with the principal objective of serving the community and contribute to a positive social change. Ideiaba, however, is currently developing other complementing activities, such as training courses and seminars and the development of educational material directed to the special needs population in particular, amongst others.
