Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a well-established, research-based approach that helps
children with autism improve various skills, such as communication, social interaction, and daily
living tasks. ABA therapy focuses on reinforcing positive behaviors and reducing challenging behaviors.
It involves individualized programs tailored to each child’s unique needs.

During the initial evaluation, our team will assess your child’s strengths, challenges, and areas
of need. We will ask about your child’s medical history, daily routines, and any concerns you
may have. Based on this information, we will create a personalized therapy plan and discuss next
steps with you.

Your child will work with a team of skilled Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Together, they provide personalized ABA therapy and
ongoing parent support to ensure lasting, meaningful progress.

The time to see progress from autism therapy for kids can vary from child to child. Some children show improvements in a few months, while others may take longer. The consistency and intensity of therapy are important factors, and our team will regularly assess progress and adjust the program to ensure the best outcomes.

An ABA therapy session is individualized to meet your child’s needs. It typically includes:

• Structured Activities: Targeting specific goals like communication, social skills, or
  daily tasks.
• Play-Based Learning: Using fun activities to engage your child while teaching new
  skills.
• Data Collection: Tracking progress to adjust goals as needed.
• Family Involvement: Parents may be included to learn strategies to reinforce progress at
  home.

We believe in a strong partnership between families and therapists. Families receive regular updates, and we provide training to ensure you feel confident in supporting your child’s
development at home. Parent support groups and workshops may also be available to help families connect and learn from one another.

Yes, we require a minimum of 10 hours per week. The number of hours is determined by your child’s individual needs, as prescribed by their BCBA, to ensure the best chance for progress and
behavioral improvements.
