Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is ABA therapy?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It’s the science of behavior—basically, we analyze what people do, figure out why they do it, and teach more helpful behaviors using reinforcement.
-
Is ABA just for individuals with autism?
Nope! While ABA is the gold standard for treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it can be used with anyone—children, adults, and other neurotypical people. ABA is applied wherever behavior change is needed—education, business, mental health, even fitness.
-
What does a typical ABA session look like?
It depends on the individual but often includes: structured tasks, behavior reduction plans and data collection. Sessions can happen at home, in a clinic, or a work environment.
-
How is progress measured in ABA?
We take data like it’s our full-time job—because, well, it is. Every behavior we teach or reduce is tracked meticulously. That data tells us what’s working, what’s not, and how to adjust the plan.

Who provides ABA services?
BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts): BCBAs design and oversee treatment plans, and supervise. They hold a master’s degree, complete clinical training, and pass a board certification exam (similar to medical boards).
RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians): They carry out the day-to-day sessions. Typically holding an undergraduate degree, RBTs complete required training and pass a technician certification exam. They implement treatment plans under BCBA supervision.
Parents/Caregivers: ABA includes collaboration with families to support learning and ensure skills generalize beyond sessions.
Clients (Participants):
The individuals receiving services are central to the process. Goals are tailored to their unique needs, and when possible, they take an active role in their own progress. -
Is ABA covered by insurance?
In many places, yes! ABA is often covered—especially for individuals diagnosed with autism. We also accept DD and SLS waivers. However, coverage depends on your plan and location. Call your provider and ask!
