Understanding the ABA Therapy Process: A Step-by-Step Guide for Your Family
Step 1: Is ABA right for my family?
In an initial conversation or consultation, you’ll discuss your child’s challenges and goals with our team. We help determine if ABA therapy is appropriate for your child. If ABA is a good fit, we also review how it can be covered by your insurance plan and ensure you understand the next steps. Each treatment plan is specifically tailored to utilize your child’s strengths and target skill deficits. Progress and success occur more quickly when the family works collaboratively with our therapists from the very beginning.
Step 2: Getting Started (Intake and Insurance Verification)
Once you decide to move forward, we guide you through the intake process. This involves completing documentation about your child’s background and your family’s needs. You will have the opportunity to outline your main concerns, questions, and goals, as well as any specific issues you want to address. During this stage, our administrative team also verifies your insurance benefits, obtains any required initial authorizations, and answers any of your questions about coverage. By gathering all necessary information upfront and handling insurance forms early, we set the stage for a smooth start to therapy.
Step 3: Assessment & Personalized Treatment Plan
Our BCBA will observe your child, connect with you and possibly school staff, and complete clinical assessments. We build a plan that focuses on meaningful growth, behavioral, academic, emotional, and social. We work with your insurance to begin services.
Step 4: Implementation of the Treatment Plan
With the plan approved and funding in place, therapy begins! The BCBA will guide, supervise, and oversee all behavior therapists who work with your child in implementing the behavior plan. Our therapists will collect data electronically throughout each therapy session, allowing the BCBA to continuously analyze progress and make adjustments as needed. As your child achieves new skills, additional goals will be added to his or her plan, and the therapy program will evolve. During this phase, our administrative support continues in the background – we monitor your insurance authorizations and submit ongoing claims for each session. Whenever it’s time to renew an authorization or provide progress reports to your insurer, we handle it promptly so your child’s therapy never misses a beat due to paperwork. The combination of clinical supervision and diligent administrative follow-up ensures the most effective and uninterrupted results for your child.

Step 3: Assessment & Personalized Treatment Plan
Your family will be introduced to one of our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), who will be the lead “coach” for your child’s team of therapists. The BCBA will meet with you to discuss and schedule initial observations and a comprehensive assessment of your child. This evaluation phase will vary in duration depending on your child’s needs and availability. The purpose of the skills assessment is to gather baseline information about your child’s behavior, communication, daily living skills, social interactions, and play skills. After the assessments are complete, our BCBA will follow up with you to review the findings and discuss preliminary treatment goals. They will also make recommendations regarding where therapy should take place (in-center, home, or community) and the number of therapy hours appropriate to work on those goals. Crucially, the BCBA will then create a personalized treatment plan for your child and work with our billing team to seek authorization from your insurance company to begin services. We take care of submitting all the required documentation to get approval, so your child can start therapy as soon as possible.
