Why ABA Therapy Uses Repetition to Build Skills

If you’ve heard about ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, you might wonder: is it repetitive? The truth is, yes — repetition is part of ABA. But that doesn’t mean it’s boring. 


Repetition is what helps children learn new skills, remember them, and use them in everyday life.


Why Repetition Is Important in ABA

ABA therapy works a lot like practicing a sport or learning to ride a bike. The more you practice, the more natural it feels. For children with autism, repetition can help them:


  • Strengthen communication skills
  • Build social connections
  • Improve daily living habits
  • Reduce challenging behaviors


The difference is, ABA therapists make practice fun. They use play, real-life situations, and positive reinforcement so kids stay engaged while learning.


ABA therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Every child’s plan is customized, and if something feels too repetitive, the therapist adapts it. The goal is steady progress, with sessions that balance structure and enjoyment.


All Star ABA proudly serves families across Maryland and Virginia with flexible options to meet every need:



Each program is designed to support growth, independence, and confidence.
