01
What is ABA therapy and how does it help my child?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that uses positive reinforcement to teach skills and reduce challenging behaviors in children with autism and other developmental conditions. It focuses on improving communication, social interaction, self-care, and independence.
02
How do I get started with ABA therapy?
Simply contact us through our website or call our office. Our intake team will walk you through a free consultation, insurance verification, and initial assessment scheduling with a BCBA.
03
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid?
Yes, we accept Virginia Medicaid and most major commercial insurance plans. Our team will check your benefits and help you navigate any required approvals or paperwork.
04
What happens during the initial ABA assessment?
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will observe your child and conduct standardized assessments to identify strengths, needs, and goals. This helps create a personalized Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).

How often will my child receive therapy?
Session frequency depends on your child’s individual needs and insurance coverage. Most children receive between 10–40 hours of therapy per week, as determined by the assessment and family goals.
