What is ABA therapy, and how can it help my child?

ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a proven, science-backed approach to helping children with autism develop essential life skills. At our autism centers, we use personalized treatment plans to improve communication, social interaction, and independence while reducing challenging behaviors. Our board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) and experienced therapists create engaging, structured learning environments tailored to your child's unique needs.

How do I find the best autism clinic or autism center near me?

Finding the right autism clinic for your child means looking for a center that offers individualized ABA therapy, experienced BCBAs, and a strong track record of success. We provide personalized therapy plans, one-on-one support, and family training to ensure your child thrives in and outside of therapy. Our autism centers focus on helping children build meaningful skills that support their long-term development.

What is the age range of children you serve?

We provide comprehensive support for children at different stages of development: Autism assessments are available for children 18 months to 6 years old, and in-center ABA therapy is designed for children 18 months to 10 years old, focusing on building communication, social, and daily living skills.

Yes, and we have the data. We studied 1,141 children at Behavioral Innovations using the Vineland-3, a nationally recognized adaptive behavior assessment. Every age group and every level of need showed measurable improvement within six months. Children with higher support needs made some of the strongest gains.

See the full study

Most families in our outcomes study saw measurable progress within the first six months of consistent therapy. Gains continued through twelve months. Progress varies by child, but the timeline is predictable enough that families know within months whether therapy is working.

At Behavioral Innovations, we provide comprehensive autism screenings to help families understand their child’s unique needs and access the right support. Our autism diagnosis center uses research-backed tools to assess developmental concerns and guide families through the evaluation process.

We utilize:

Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT™): Designed for children under 3, this parent-report screening tool consists of 20 questions that assess the risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It helps identify early signs and determine if further evaluation is needed.

Schedule An Official Evaluation

Child Autism Spectrum Test (CAST): Developed by the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge, this questionnaire screens for autism symptoms in children aged 4 and older. It evaluates social, communication, and imaginative behaviors to determine if further assessment is necessary.

Take the CAST

An autism diagnosis provides clarity on the challenges your child may face at home and school. You can start with an initial screening from your pediatrician or schedule a full evaluation at our autism clinic. Contact us today to learn more.

Yes! Most insurance plans cover ABA therapy since it’s recognized as a medically necessary treatment for autism. Our team helps families navigate the insurance process, verify coverage, and assist with approvals. We know dealing with insurance can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it easy for you. If you’re looking for ABA therapy near you and need help understanding your coverage, contact us today—we’ll walk you through the process and answer all your questions.
