ABA Therapy
Our ABA Care Philosophy
Our approach is simple: connect first, support steadily, and build progress one step at a time. With warm guidance and strategies that feel natural in real life, we help your child grow skills, confidence, and independence that carry over into home, school, and beyond.
Customized ABA Support Tailored to Your Child
Every child learns differently, which is why our ABA therapy is customized around what your child needs most. With clear goals, individualized teaching, and steady one-on-one support, we focus on building skills that make daily life easier and more connected. We keep families closely involved, so you always know what your child is working on and how you can support their growth at home.
Language Skills
We help your child express their needs, feelings, and ideas, whether through words, gestures, or other communication tools. When children feel understood, their whole world opens up.
Skills Acquisition
If your child is struggling with a certain skill, we break it down into tiny, doable steps. With patience and encouragement, success becomes less stressful and more joyful.
Behavior Support
Behavior is communication, and we listen closely. We work with your child to build steady skills that bring more balance and calm each day.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
We help your child express their needs, feelings, and ideas, whether through words, gestures, or other communication tools. When children feel understood, their whole world opens up.
Social Skills
We help children build skills that strengthen friendships and connections: sharing, turn-taking, recognizing emotions, and feeling comfortable around others.
Executive Functioning
We nurture flexible thinking, memory, emotional regulation, and self-control. These skills help children manage transitions, school tasks, problem-solving, and everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is the full name for ABA therapy. It uses structured teaching, measurable goals, and positive reinforcement to help children learn new skills and improve behavior in meaningful ways.
ABA therapy is a specific type of behavioral therapy grounded in scientific research and data collection. Not all behavioral therapies follow ABA principles. ABA uses structured programming, measurable goals, and ongoing progress monitoring.
ABA therapy works by breaking complex skills into smaller steps, teaching them through repetition and practice, and reinforcing positive responses. Progress is tracked carefully, and strategies are adjusted based on data to ensure effective learning.
ABA therapy sessions often include structured learning activities, play-based teaching, communication practice, and social interaction exercises. Sessions can take place at home, in a clinic, or in school settings, depending on the program.
The number of hours depends on the child’s individual needs. Some children receive ten to twenty hours per week, while others may require more intensive programs of twenty-five to forty hours. A BCBA determines the recommended schedule after assessment.
ABA therapy sessions typically last between two and four hours. The schedule may be spread across multiple days each week to maintain consistency and reduce fatigue.
Some families begin to notice improvements within a few months. More substantial skill development often occurs over six to twelve months of consistent therapy. Long-term outcomes depend on intensity, consistency, and individualized programming.
ABA therapy may gradually decrease when a child achieves targeted goals, demonstrates independence, and can apply learned skills across environments. The decision is made collaboratively between the BCBA and the family.
Many state Medicaid programs cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. Eligibility criteria and authorization requirements vary by state, so verification with the specific Medicaid plan is necessary.
Medicare generally does not cover ABA therapy for children. Medicare primarily serves adults over age sixty-five and certain individuals with disabilities. Families typically rely on private insurance or Medicaid for ABA coverage.
