4 Easy Steps to In-Home Therapy in Laurel
The role of parents and caregivers in the therapy process:
Assessment
The first step is to meet with your BCBA (Board-Certified Behavior Analyst) to discuss your child’s goals. Your BCBA will observe your child's behavior, assess their skills, and identify any challenges they may face.
Development
The second step is for your BCBA (Board-Certified Behavior Analyst) to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your child’s and family’s goals. They will work with the therapy team and insurance provider to ensure the most effective treatment is prescribed for your child’s needs.
Therapy
The next step is starting therapy! You and your child will work with the therapy team on the goals and plans developed with the BCBA. You will check in regularly to ensure progress is being made, and you’ll also learn the strategies your child is working on to support their development.
Monitoring
Lastly, we continuously monitor your child’s progress. As part of our regular work, we review the data and adjust your child's plan to ensure it meets their evolving needs and promotes ongoing growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is School-Based ABA Support Available?
- Yes, we offer school-based behavioral support for children over the age of 5 in schools that allow ABA therapy. Many private schools permit this, though most public schools do not. Our BCBAs are also available to attend IEP meetings and conferences to address any behavioral challenges your child may face.
- If further assistance is required, STEPS Behavioral Health offers advocacy services for an additional fee. Please reach out to our intake coordinator for more information.
Is ABA Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies depending on your plan. Medicaid typically covers ABA therapy, while commercial insurance plans may require copayments. We recommend checking with your provider for specific coverage details.
What Is the Purpose of ABA Therapy?
Can ABA Therapy Be Delivered in a Group Setting?
How Many Hours of ABA Therapy Are Recommended Each Week?
The recommended number of ABA therapy hours depends on the individual needs of each child. School-aged children typically receive about 15 hours per week, while those in the Early STEPS program generally receive around 30 hours per week. A minimum of 10 hours per week is required to ensure effective progress.
What Are the Roles of BCBA, RBT, and BT?
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a master’s-level professional responsible for designing, supervising, and adjusting treatment plans to ensure therapy is effective. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a certified professional who directly implements ABA strategies under the supervision of a BCBA. A BT (Behavior Technician) has similar responsibilities to an RBT but may not yet hold certification. They assist in therapy sessions and follow treatment plans under the guidance of a BCBA.

Services are great, Jack is progressing really well, We love his therapist and BCBA, we love sending him to STEPS! Jack knows everyone’s names and happy to see them, which shows they are interacting with him even when they don’t have to. Jack is so much more social with peers and adults.

Son of 12 year old with ASD
Communication has improved overall, manding and prompts, mornings used to be extremely tiring because my daughter wasn’t able to communicate, now learning simple yes/no open/close “lets go” she is able to communicate, before she would just have tantrums, STEPS changed her morning routine and taken away so much stress, bcba is great with communication!
