Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a structured approach used primarily to help individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop essential skills and reduce challenging behaviors. It involves the systematic observation and analysis of behavior to identify the factors that influence it, followed by the implementation of tailored interventions to promote positive change. By reinforcing desirable behaviors and teaching new skills, ABA therapy aims to improve communication, social skills, and overall quality of life for individuals with ASD.

Speak with your pediatrician or other medical provider about ABA. They can discuss whether ABA is right for your child. They can write a prescription for ABA if it is necessary for your insurance.

We accept most insurance plans, including Medicaid. Our team will walk you through the ins and outs of your specific insurance plan. They will help you understand the out-of-pocket components, such as deductibles, co-pay, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket max. All we need from you is a copy of your insurance card, and we will take care of the rest.
