Frequently Asked Questions
Steps to Getting Started with ABA Therapy
The process starts with a call to our intake team to complete paperwork and set up your first appointment. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will then meet with your child and caregiver for an initial 1–2 hour assessment, typically within 45 days of receiving your completed forms.
After the assessment, your BCBA develops a personalized treatment plan, reviews it with your family, and submits it for insurance approval. During this time, your child’s care team is also put in place. Once approved, services can begin—usually within about four months of your initial call.
What ages do you work with?
Can support be provided in my child’s school?
- In many cases, yes. For children age 5 and older, BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) may be able to work within the school setting—supporting your child, helping address behavioral challenges, and participating in IEP meetings or conferences. Availability can vary, as private schools are often more flexible with outside providers, while public schools may have certain restrictions.
- Additional help is also available through advocacy services, offered for an out-of-pocket fee. Reach out to our intake team to learn more.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
Why is ABA therapy used?
ABA therapy focuses on helping individuals develop practical skills that support everyday life. Using proven methods and individualized strategies, it encourages positive behaviors, builds new abilities, and reduces those that may interfere with daily routines.
Although it’s most commonly associated with supporting individuals with autism and other developmental differences, ABA is also used in areas like education, mental health, and workplace behavior to promote meaningful, lasting change.
Are group-based ABA services available?
Yes—and there are several options available. Social skills groups are offered throughout the week for clients over age 5 who are currently receiving ABA therapy. Children in the Early STEPS program benefit from a blend of one-on-one support, group play, and structured group activities designed for their developmental stage.
For older clients, community outings provide opportunities to build connections, practice social skills, and apply what they’ve learned in real-life settings.
What Is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy?
Is ABA Therapy Practiced Ethically?
Yes. All ABA professionals follow the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Ethics Code. This means your child’s dignity, individual needs, and family input always come first.
Ethical ABA uses positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies. It is backed by decades of research.
Ongoing training, proper oversight, and regular evaluation ensure high standards are upheld at every level of care.
How Do I Know If My Child Would Benefit From ABA Therapy?
Who Makes Up My Child's ABA Treatment Team?
Your child’s team has three key roles:
BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) — Designs and oversees your child’s personalized treatment plan.
RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) — Works directly with your child to carry out the plan under BCBA supervision.
BT (Behavior Technician) — Also works directly with your child, and is currently working toward their RBT certification.
All three work closely together to support your child’s progress.
How Many Weekly Hours of ABA Therapy Does My Child Need?
Every child is different. Here’s a general guide:
School-aged children — Around 15 hours per week, with a minimum of 10 hours.
Early STEPS (Early Intervention) — Up to 30 hours per week, providing intensive support during those critical early years.
Your child’s recommended hours will be tailored to their individual needs.
