Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Getting started with ABA therapy begins with a simple intake process. Families connect with our team to complete initial paperwork and schedule an in-home or virtual assessment with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). During this 1–2 hour visit, we take time to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and your goals for therapy.
Following the assessment, we create a personalized therapy plan tailored to your child’s needs. This plan is reviewed with you and submitted to your insurance provider for approval while we match your child with a qualified therapy team. Once authorization is received, services can begin. In most cases, the process takes a few months from start to finish.
At what age can a child start ABA therapy?
ABA therapy supports children and young adults from ages 2 to 21. Programs are tailored to your child’s developmental stage, with goals and strategies that grow alongside them. This helps strengthen communication, social, and everyday living skills at every stage.
Is ABA therapy offered in schools?
- In some cases, yes. For children ages 5 and older, ABA services may be provided in school settings when permitted. Private schools often offer more flexibility, while public schools may have guidelines that limit outside providers. Our BCBAs can also participate in IEP meetings and school conferences to support planning.
- For families seeking additional guidance through the school system, our advocacy services are available at an out-of-pocket fee — giving you a knowledgeable partner in your corner when you need it most.
Will insurance help pay for ABA therapy?
ABA therapy is commonly covered, but it depends on the details of your individual insurance plan. Medicaid plans often include ABA services, while private insurance may involve copays, deductibles, or other out-of-pocket costs. Our team can help review your benefits, explain your coverage, and guide you through the approval process so there are no surprises.
What areas can ABA therapy improve?
ABA therapy focuses on building essential life skills that help children succeed in everyday situations. This includes improving communication, social interaction, and independence, while also reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning. Each program is tailored to your child’s needs using proven, evidence-based strategies to support long-term progress.
Are group ABA sessions offered?
Yes, ABA therapy may include group sessions along with one-on-one support. Children ages 5 and up can participate in social skills groups that focus on communication and peer interaction.
For older children and teens, group sessions help build confidence by practicing social and daily living skills in real-world settings.
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a research-based approach that helps children build important skills while reducing behaviors that may interfere with daily life. It focuses on areas like communication, social interaction, and independence using positive reinforcement and structured teaching methods.
Each program is personalized to meet your child’s needs, with strategies designed to support progress at home, in school, and in the community.
Is ABA therapy ethical?
Yes, ABA therapy is ethical when practiced according to established guidelines. Professionals follow the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Ethics Code, which emphasizes respect, individualized care, and collaboration with families.
ABA uses evidence-based strategies and positive reinforcement to help children build meaningful skills and improve quality of life, with ongoing oversight to ensure ethical, supportive care.
How many hours per week does ABA therapy require?
How do BCBAs, RBTs, and BTs each play a role in ABA therapy?
Your child is supported by a dedicated team of specialists working together toward shared goals. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs the personalized treatment plan, monitors your child’s development, and refines strategies along the way.
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Behavior Technicians (BTs) work directly with your child during sessions, guiding skill-building through purposeful, goal-oriented activities. BTs are typically in the process of earning their RBT certification.
Together, this team approach creates a consistent, supportive experience — giving your child the best opportunity to grow and succeed.
What can I do at home to reinforce my child's ABA therapy progress?
Who is ABA therapy best suited for?
ABA therapy is beneficial for children and young adults who need support with communication, social interaction, behavior, or daily living skills. It is commonly recommended for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, as well as those with other developmental or behavioral challenges.
Since services are tailored to each individual, therapy can be adjusted to match specific goals and strengths, helping children make meaningful progress and gain confidence in daily life.
