The ultimate goal of our practice is to deliver comprehensive and effective behavior-change services that improve the lives of individuals and families impacted by autism.
The Science of Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a set of principles based on the science of learning. ABA therapy is used to increase socially significant behaviors in children diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities. Through the manipulation of environmental variables, ABA has been used to influence behavior and teach a wide variety of skills including communication, social skills, grooming, hygiene and reading. ABA is also used to reduce behaviors that may interfere with routine activities. Behavior Analysts collect data to help determine why a particular behavior may occur and subsequently identify controlling environmental factors that occasion its occurrence.
What Does ABA Therapy Look Like?
Understanding ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based framework utilized to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Rather than a single method, ABA serves as an umbrella term for a variety of proven interventions, including Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), and Antecedent-Based Interventions (ABI).
​
Purposeful Play & Skill Building
To an outside observer, an ABA session may simply look like play. In reality, our therapists are intentionally teaching critical skills through structured prompting, strategic repetition, and targeted reinforcement. Sessions seamlessly blend contrived learning opportunities with natural everyday moments to encourage correct responses and meaningful progress.
​
The Power of Positive Reinforcement
At its core, ABA utilizes positive reinforcement to encourage and increase helpful behaviors. While therapy may initially rely on small rewards—such as favorite toys, preferred snacks, or enthusiastic verbal praise—our ultimate clinical goal is for the child to naturally find motivation and fulfillment within their everyday environment.

Working to Help Our Clients Reach
Their Full Potential...
We believe in a personalized path to success. At CIMI, our goal is to help every client reach their full potential through tailored care. The journey begins at our Dover, DE center, where a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) conducts caregiver interviews and initial assessments. By understanding your child's unique strengths, we can pinpoint the perfect starting level for behavioral interventions and design a program uniquely suited to their needs.
Uniquely Tailored Programs
Our Mission and Core Goals
At CIMI, our ultimate goal is to empower our clients by expanding essential skills in communication, learning, play, and social interactions. Simultaneously, we work to reduce or eliminate repetitive, self-injurious, or challenging behaviors that may interfere with daily living and academic success.

Collaborative Family Care
True progress extends beyond therapy sessions. We actively support and educate the entire family unit by providing comprehensive parent and caregiver training. Our team works closely with other paraprofessionals serving your child to ensure seamless, coordinated care.

Clinical Excellence & Supervision
Once personalized goals are established, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs a uniquely tailored program implemented by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). To maintain the highest integrity of service, our RBTs receive continuous, rigorous training and close clinical supervision, guaranteeing evidence-based care you can trust.
