Everything you need to know about ABA therapy and getting started with ABT.
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It is the most widely recognized and evidence-based treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ABA therapy uses systematic techniques to improve social interactions, communication, daily living skills, and reduce challenging behaviors.
ABA therapy can benefit children of all ages diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Whether your child is verbal or nonverbal, has mild or significant challenges, ABA can be tailored to their specific needs. We serve children ages 1-12.
ABA sessions involve one-on-one therapy between your child and a trained behavior therapist (RBT). Sessions include structured activities, play-based learning, and natural environment teaching. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs and oversees the individualized treatment plan.
The recommended therapy hours vary based on your child's assessment. Typically, children receive between 10-40 hours per week. Your BCBA will recommend the appropriate number after a comprehensive assessment.
Simply call us at 888-830-1672 or fill out the enrollment form on our Contact page. Our intake team will respond immediately with next steps, verify your insurance, and schedule an initial assessment.
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, AmeriHealth, Medical Mutual, Molina, and more. We also accept the Ohio Autism Scholarship Program (ASP). Contact us to verify your specific plan.
We pride ourselves on minimal wait times. In most cases, we can begin the intake process within days and start therapy shortly after the assessment is completed.

All therapists are Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who undergo extensive training and ongoing supervision by our BCBAs. We also offer a free BCBA Mentorship Program for staff pursuing their BCBA certification.
