How ABA Therapy Works

Step 1

Intake Set-Up

Call or contact us, and we'll respond immediately. Our care coordinators expedite the process to ensure your child can begin therapy as soon as possible.

Step 2

Your Child's Assessment

A dedicated Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will observe your child, conduct a comprehensive assessment, and submit it to your insurance provider for approval.

Step 3

Individual Treatment Plan

Based on the assessment, our team creates a personalized ABA therapy plan with short- and long-term goals tailored specifically to your child's unique needs and strengths.

Step 4

Therapy Implementation

A skilled Behavior Technician implements the treatment plan under the close supervision of the BCBA, ensuring consistent progress and quality care.

Navigating a New Diagnosis

We understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. A new autism diagnosis brings many questions, concerns, and emotions. "You're not alone in this journey."

How We Support You

Our team is here to provide guidance, answer your questions, and support your family every step of the way. From the initial consultation through ongoing therapy, we're committed to making the process as smooth and reassuring as possible.

We'll help you understand what to expect, how to prepare, and how to be an active participant in your child's progress. Together, we'll create a path forward that feels right for your family.

What to Expect During Therapy

You'll receive weekly progress reports, have scheduled monthly check-ins with your BCBA, and can reach out anytime with questions or concerns. We use a secure parent portal where you can track goals, view session notes, and communicate with the care team.

Every session includes data collection on targeted skills. Goals are broken down into small, achievable steps with objective criteria for success. You'll see graphs and charts showing progress over time, and goals are regularly reviewed and updated based on your child's advancement.

We offer morning, afternoon, and evening sessions to accommodate work schedules. Sessions can take place at home, in school, or in community settings based on what works best for your family. Our schedulers work with you to find consistent times that minimize disruption to your daily routine.

BCBAs provide hands-on parent training sessions where you'll learn the same techniques used in therapy. You'll receive guidance on how to practice skills during daily routines like mealtimes, bedtime, and play. We empower you to become an active partner in your child's progress, not just an observer.
