Frequently Asked Questions
We're here to answer your questions, walk you through the process, and start building a therapy plan that works for you and your child.
ABA therapy is highly effective for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges. If your child struggles with communication, social skills, behavior management, or daily living skills, ABA therapy can help. We offer free consultations to assess your child's needs and determine if our program is the right fit for your family.
Each session is tailored to your child's goals and interests. Our therapists use play-based activities, structured teaching, and positive reinforcement to teach new skills. Sessions are engaging and fun—children often don't realize they're learning! We work on goals like communication, social interaction, self-care, and behavior management in a natural, supportive environment.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and family priorities. Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) then creates a personalized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals. The plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted based on your child's progress to ensure they're always moving forward.
Recommended hours vary based on each child's unique needs and goals. Some children benefit from 10-15 hours per week, while others may need 25-40 hours for more intensive support. Our BCBA will assess your child and recommend the optimal number of hours. Insurance coverage also plays a role in determining the treatment schedule.
All our therapy sessions are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who have master's degrees and extensive training in behavior analysis. Our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) complete rigorous training and pass a national competency exam. We maintain the highest standards and provide ongoing training to ensure quality care.
Many families notice positive changes within the first few weeks, such as improved communication or reduced challenging behaviors. Significant progress typically develops over several months as skills build upon each other. ABA therapy is a long-term investment in your child's future—the skills they learn create lasting improvements that carry into adulthood.
