Parent Training & Consultation: We empower parents and caregivers with strategies to support their child's progress at home and in the community. Progress Monitoring & Data-Driven Adjustments: We continuously track progress using objective data to ensure therapy remains effective and relevant.We believe that success looks different for every individual. Our dedicated team is committed to fostering growth in a way that respects the child's identity and encourages skills that enhance their daily life, relationships, and future independence.

Q1: How does ABA therapy work?
A: ABA therapy focuses on understanding the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desired behaviors while reducing problematic ones. Therapists analyze the Antecedents (what happens before the behavior), Behaviors (the target action), and Consequences (what happens after the behavior) to develop effective intervention strategies tailored to the individual's needs.
Q2: Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?
A: Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the provider, plan details, and location. While some extended health benefits or private insurance plans may offer coverage, it is often subject to strict criteria, limits, and exclusions. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your specific coverage for ABA services. Please note that our services may require direct billing if your plan offers coverage.
Q3: What age is ABA therapy appropriate for?
A: ABA therapy is suitable for individuals of all ages, but it is particularly effective when started early, often showing significant benefits for children under the age of 12. However, individuals of any age can benefit from ABA therapy to learn new skills, manage challenging behaviors, improve communication, and enhance their quality of life.
Q4: What can I expect during the first session?
A: The first session typically involves an initial assessment. Our therapist will meet with you and your child (if applicable), gather information about your child's history and goals, conduct observations, and discuss potential treatment directions. This session helps us understand your child's unique needs and collaborates with you to develop the initial treatment plan.
Q5: How does ABA therapy differ from other therapies?
A: While other therapies (like Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or Applied Dialectical Behavior Therapy - ADOS/ADOS-2) also support development, ABA is specifically focused on analyzing behavior and its environmental influences to bring about measurable changes. It is highly individualized, data-driven, and focuses on socially significant behaviors. ABA therapy often incorporates techniques from other therapeutic modalities but remains centered on the principles of behavior analysis.
