Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with ABA services?
Getting started with ABA services begins with a call to our intake team to complete initial paperwork and schedule an assessment with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). During this first visit, which typically lasts 1–2 hours, the BCBA meets with your child and family to better understand your child’s needs and goals.
After the assessment, the BCBA develops a personalized treatment plan and reviews it with you to make any necessary adjustments before submitting it to your insurance provider. At the same time, we begin identifying the right therapy team for your child. Once insurance approval is received, services can begin, with the full process typically taking a few months from start to finish.
What ages do you serve?
We work with children and young adults ranging from 2 to 21 years old.
Can you support my child at school?
- Absolutely! For children over the age of 5, we can provide behavioral support in school settings when permitted by the school. Most private schools allow us to accompany your child to provide ABA therapy, while many public schools may have restrictions. Our BCBAs can also attend IEP meetings and conferences with families to help address any behavioral challenges your child may be experiencing.
- If additional support is needed, STEPS Behavioral Health offers advocacy services at an out-of-pocket cost. Please contact our intake coordinator for more information.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
In many cases, yes—but coverage varies depending on your specific plan. Medicaid typically covers ABA therapy, while most commercial insurance plans may include copays or other out-of-pocket costs. Our team can help you understand your benefits and guide you through the process.
What is the goal of ABA therapy?
The goal of ABA therapy is to help children build meaningful skills that improve their everyday lives. This includes developing communication, social, and daily living skills, while also reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning or independence. Each program is personalized to meet your child’s specific needs, using proven, evidence-based techniques.
Can ABA be done in a group setting?
Yes! In addition to one-on-one therapy, we offer social skills groups for children ages 5 and up who are receiving ABA services. Our early intervention program, Early STEPS, also includes a combination of individual therapy, group play, and structured group activities based on each child’s abilities.
For older children and teens in Aurora, we provide opportunities to practice social and life skills with peers in real-world settings, helping them build confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is based on the science of learning and behavior. It helps children with autism develop new skills and reduce challenging behaviors by reinforcing positive behaviors and decreasing those that may interfere with learning and daily life.
Is ABA therapy Ethical?
Yes it is. ABA therapy is considered ethical when it is delivered by trained professionals who follow established guidelines. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) follow a strict code of ethics that prioritizes each child’s dignity, individualized care, and collaboration with families.
Modern ABA focuses on positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies to help children build meaningful skills and gain greater independence, while always respecting their unique needs and goals.
How many hours of ABA therapy are recommended each week?
The number of hours recommended depends on your child’s individual needs. Many school-aged children receive around 15 hours of ABA therapy per week, while younger children in our Early STEPS program may receive closer to 30 hours per week. In general, a minimum of 10 hours per week is recommended to support meaningful progress.
What's the difference between a BCBA, RBT, and BT?
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a highly trained professional who creates and oversees your child’s individualized treatment plan. RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians) and BTs (Behavior Technicians) work directly with your child to carry out that plan during therapy sessions under the supervision of a BCBA.
The main difference is that an RBT is certified, while a BT is typically in the process of completing their certification.
How can I support my child’s progress at home?
Your child’s BCBA will provide parent training and guidance to help you use ABA strategies at home. This allows you to reinforce skills your child is learning in therapy and better manage challenging behaviors across different environments, creating more consistent progress.
How do I know if my child may benefit from ABA therapy?
If your child has autism and is experiencing challenges with behavior, communication, daily routines, or learning new skills, ABA therapy may be a great fit. It’s designed to support children in building independence and developing important life skills.
If you’re unsure, our team is happy to talk with you, answer your questions, and help determine if ABA therapy is the right next step for your child.
