How ABA Therapy Works
Understanding how ABA therapy works can help families feel more confident as they begin services.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Your family meets with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who conducts a comprehensive assessment. This process helps identify your child’s strengths, challenges, and areas for growth.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, the BCBA develops a customized treatment plan outlining clear developmental and behavioral goals.
Step 3: Skill-Focused Therapy
Your child works with trained clinicians, including RBTs under BCBA supervision, to build skills that support communication, social interaction, daily living abilities, and emotional and behavioral regulation.
ABA therapy emphasizes measurable progress, helping children develop skills that positively impact home, school, and community life.
FAQs
Do centers provide in-school therapy?
After an assessment is completed, if it is deemed clinically appropriate to provide services in the school, we will work with you, your insurance provider, and the school district to determine if this is possible.
Can I use the diagnostic report that I received from the school?
Most insurance companies require a formal diagnosis to access ABA therapy. While the evaluations provided by a school district can help our team with treatment planning, they do not typically include a formal diagnosis.
Can I attend therapy with my child?
Absolutely! Parent involvement, engagement, and learning is key to success. We welcome you to attend sessions and support your child’s growth in this way.
Is behavioral therapy the same as ABA therapy?
It can be! Behavioral therapy can refer to a broader range of interventions that aren’t necessarily all applied behavior analysis.
