Faces ABA Behavioral Services (Faces) was founded in 1995 to support children with autism reach their full potential utilizing applied behavior analysis (ABA).  ABA behavior therapy services include 1:1 intensive early intervention, elementary-aged intervention, school and caregiver coaching, and social development. Therapy can take place in the home, our Faces clinic in San Jose, the community (daycare, after-school programs, scheduled play dates), and at school (with permission). ABA teaching methods are used to promote independence in all significant areas, including:

• Communication and language
• Behavior management
• School readiness
• Self-care and independence
• Peer socialization
• Play skills

At Faces, your child has a collaborative team dedicated to their growth.  Under the direction of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Faces Lead Behavior Therapists (LBTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) provide direct services to your child. All Faces staff receive rigorous and ongoing clinical training, including Safety-Care (TM) de-escalation procedures.

At Faces, assessments are conducted every 6-12 months. Your child’s goals are determined in an individualized treatment plan and/or an existing Individualized Education Plan. (IEP). Faces use evidence-based developmental assessments, functional behavior assessments, caregiver collaboration, and session data to inform programming decisions. The primary goal of this program is to maximize children’s long-term levels of functioning. If you are interested in ABA services through our Faces Program, please complete the Inquiry Form. We look forward to meeting you and your child!

Faces Clinic

The Faces clinic is offered at the Sunny Days Preschool site and is open from 9 am to 5 pm for children ages 18 months to 13 years. The Faces clinic provides socialization and school readiness opportunities that may not occur during home sessions. A clinical supervisor provides ongoing supervision to facilitate activities and routines. Individual ABA goals are developed and targeted throughout the clinic session to include independent skills, social opportunities, appropriate play skills, and management of challenging behaviors.

Caregiver Coaching

Caregiver coaching is an integral part of Faces Behavior Services. To enhance your child’s independence and quality of life, caregivers must commit to collaboration for a minimum of one hour per month. You are an expert with regards to your child, and your input is valuable to the team in guiding your child’s developmental progress.

Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is an evidence-based scientific process that uses the principles of learning and motivation to change behavior. For practical purposes, we refer to behavior as observable actions and skills. ABA techniques are based on behavioral psychology and are used to bring about meaningful positive changes in behavior. Many scientific studies have confirmed that using intensive applied behavior analysis techniques with young children with autism significantly improves their cognitive abilities, non-verbal communication, receptive and expressive language skills, and other adaptive skills. ABA is a widely recognized treatment for autism and has been endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General and is approved by the FDA.
