Frequently Asked Questions

Have Question? We are here to help

What is ABA Therapy?

ABA therapy is the gold standard in behavioral therapy for children on the spectrum. The goal of our ABA therapy centers is to help your child reach their highest potential. ABA therapy is the right approach for many children to achieve their specific goals.

How Common is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder, which was formalized in only 2013 with the publication of the DSM-5 diagnostic manual, affects about 1% of the world’s population (according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention). That’s over 75 million people, of which at least three million are Americans.  Regarding children specifically, there are 10X as many considered to have ASD than 40 years ago. Said increases are directly tied to publicity, decreased stigma, and awareness, with diagnosis being only a part of the reason.

Does ABA Therapy Work for Autism?

The simple answer is yes. There are hundreds of studies supporting the effectiveness of ABA therapy. Every child is different and requires different levels of care and longevity of care. However, key studies have shown that children who have received two or more years of intensive behavioral intervention have made substantial progress. ABA continues to be one of the only ‘evidence-based’ approaches to autism and is the only one covered by Federal/State agencies and commercial insurance.

What ages of children do you work with?

We serve children on the autism spectrum from 18 months to 13 years and offer personalized programming for their unique needs. Therapy program options may differ based on each center. Please reach out directly to a clinic near you.

Will my insurance pay for autism therapy?

Yes, in most cases private insurance will cover treatments through our program.

Does ABA Therapy Mean My Child is “Stuck” at a Table All Day Repeating the Same Tasks?

No way! ABC strives to create an engaging environment for learning. While sitting at a table may be a developmental goal (especially if we’re aiming for school readiness) there are many other skills to focus on. We use two ABA methods, Discrete Trail Training (DTT) and Natural Environment Training (NET). DTT is set in an individualized space, that involves therapist-led floor play, table work, matching, and more. NET is set up in a large exciting play space where kiddos lead the way and therapists work alongside them on appropriate play, name recognition, sharing, motor skills, and more.

Circle Time is another daily activity based on age and communication levels where therapists, BCBAs, and kiddos can be caught singing, laughing, and learning together. Each center has the space to introduce fun therapist-led activities like group exercises or stimulus rooms. There is a wide variety of techniques and methods used in ABA.

 

How are Parents Involved?

Families and guardians are an essential part of any ABA therapy program and need to be active in the treatment process. Family Guidance is a core part of what we do at ABC. We require biweekly sessions between guardians and their dedicated BCBA where there are continued discussions and teachings on how to generalize what’s being done during center hours to their lives at home and in the community.
