What to Expect During the Process

When you begin ABA services with us, here’s what the process typically looks like:

📝 1. Initial Consultation We’ll meet with you to learn more about your child, answer your questions, and explain the steps ahead.

📊 2. Assessment & Goal Planning A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct a formal assessment to understand your child’s current skills and needs. From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals.

👨‍👩‍👧 3. Team Building Your child will be paired with a team of trained ABA professionals — including a BCBA and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) — who will implement the treatment plan and track progress.

🧩 4. Hands-On Therapy Therapy begins! Sessions may take place at home, in school, or in the community, depending on what’s best for your child. Sessions focus on building communication, daily living skills, social interactions, and more.

🤝 5. Caregiver Collaboration You’ll be involved every step of the way. We provide caregiver training and support to help you use ABA strategies at home and reinforce what your child is learning.

🔄 6. Ongoing Support & Progress Updates We monitor your child’s progress closely using data, make necessary adjustments to the plan, and celebrate milestones together.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA

Q: How is ABA different from other therapies?

A: ABA is highly individualized and data-driven. That means your child’s program is created just for them — based on their unique needs and learning style — and progress is carefully tracked so we know what’s working and how to keep improving.

Q: What kinds of things will my child learn?

A: Depending on your child’s goals, ABA can help with language and communication, social skills, daily routines like brushing teeth or getting dressed, reducing challenging behaviors, and building independence in everyday life.

Q: Will I be involved in the therapy?

A: Yes — absolutely. Caregiver involvement is a key part of what makes ABA successful. We’ll coach you on how to support your child’s progress at home and work as a team so the skills they learn are practiced consistently across all settings.

Q: How long does ABA therapy last?

A: Each child’s program is different. Some children receive a few hours a week, while others benefit from more intensive support. We’ll help guide you through this and make recommendations based on your child’s needs and schedule.

Q: Is it too late to start if my child is older?

A: Not at all. While early intervention can lead to quicker gains, ABA is effective at any age when it’s tailored to the child’s developmental level and delivered by trained professionals.
