Insurance

  • Most ABA therapy is covered by insurance. Depending on your insurance plan, you might have a copay. Our intake team can help you get approvals for ABA from your insurance and they’ll let you know if there would be any out-of-pocket costs.  

  • Most insurances do, but you might have a copay. The coverage and cost of therapy is different on each insurance plan, so reach out to learn what’s covered by yours.  

  • Yes, but it can be costly. ABA therapy is successful when it’s steady and consistent — which is why insurance companies typically cover 8-35 hours per week. The hours add up quickly, so most parents avoid the out-of-pocket route. If you’d like to hear rates, please get in touch.  

ABA therapy

  • Parents play a lead role in ABA. Your child’s therapists will ask you what therapy goals are important to you, their BCBA will provide you with parent training sessions, and your involvement will solidify the skills that your child learns in therapy.

  • We serve children and young adults from early childhood through adolescence. Our programs are designed to meet developmental needs at every stage, including:

    • Early Intervention (Ages 2–5): Building foundational skills in communication, play, and learning.

    • School-Age (Ages 6–12): Supporting academic readiness, social skills, and independence in daily living.

    • Adolescents & Young Adults (Ages 13–21): Focusing on life skills, coping strategies, vocational readiness, and preparing for transitions into adulthood

  • Therapy is very flexible both in time and place. Your child can receive therapy at home after school or during the school day in their school. Reach out to hear more.

  • The biggest way is to help equip children for life. From toilet training to dressing to eating, ABA therapy helps parents and kids set and reach goals. ABA helps build skills in many areas, like academic skills, social skills, fine motor skills, speech skills, and daily living skills.  

  • ABA therapy is delivered by a team of highly trained professionals working together to support your child’s growth:

    • Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs): Licensed clinicians who conduct assessments, design individualized treatment plans, and oversee all therapy services. They analyze data, update goals, and provide parent training to ensure skills generalize beyond sessions.

    • Behavior Technicians (BTs) / Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs): These are trained team members who work one-on-one with your child to implement the therapy plan developed by the BCBA. They use structured teaching, positive reinforcement, and play-based strategies during sessions.

    • Caregivers & Families: Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the ABA team. With coaching and support from the BCBA, families learn how to apply strategies at home and in the community.

  • After you have an ASD diagnosis from your assessing doctor, contact us on the form or by calling the number at the bottom of this page. We’ll take care of the rest and will set up an assessment with a BCBA as soon as we verify your insurance eligibility. It typically takes 6-8 weeks until your child meets their provider for their first therapy session.  

  • That depends on many factors like age, setting, and level of support needed. You will get a recommendation once your child is assessed by a BCBA. Many children receive 10-30 hours per week on average — but some need less and some as many as 40 hours per week. Sessions can be 1 hour or a few hours, depending on the frequency and your child’s needs. 

  • We understand that life happens and sometimes, last minute schedules are inevitable. Let your therapy team know ASAP if you need to change any details regarding your scheduled sessions and we will work with you to reschedule. Frequent cancellations are subject to the natural consequences of inconsistency.  

  • Therapists start ABA therapy with a process called pairing. Pairing is when they get to know the child and build rapport. It can look like regular play, but it is an essential part of the therapy process. The key to ABA is building trust and friendship so that the child will work with the BT on expanding their skill set.   
    Then they teach skills in many ways, depending on how the child learns best. Some children will learn in a more focused setting, and some children learn better through play. Their therapist will incorporate learning goals into whichever way works for them.  

  • If your child has therapy in your home, you don’t need to be in the room, but you do need to be home. (Try to be available in case the therapist has a question.) If your child receives therapy in school, you don’t need to stay.  Then they teach skills in many ways, depending on how the child learns best. Some children will learn in a more focused setting, and some children learn better through play. Their therapist will incorporate learning goals into whichever way works for them.
