On average, therapy sessions last between 2 to 5 hours, and will take place daily or a few days a week. Typically, the duration of therapy spans about 1 to 3 years. However, since each child has unique learning styles and skills to develop, the timing may vary for each individual. Your dedicated BCBA will create a personalized plan that fits your and your child’s specific needs. As they progress and master skills, your BCBA will re-evaluate and update the therapy plan.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an
evidence-based therapy rooted in psychology
that helps us understand why behaviors happen
and teaches individuals safe, effective ways to
communicate, build skills, and engage with the
world around them. Using research-driven
strategies, ABA supports growth in
communication, social skills, and independence
while reducing challenging behaviors. Every
treatment approach is personalized to each
individual’s unique needs and strengths
ABA therapy can help your child learn
new ways to interact with their world. This can
include increasing their independence in tasks,
communicating more reliably or in a way that
other people can understand, improving their
flexibility or ability to cope in frustrating
situations, and reducing behavior that limits their
ability to access their environment. ABA therapy
can help make daily routines easier, make
accomplishing tasks less stressful, and improve
your understanding of your child’s needs.
The cost of ABA therapy varies based on
your insurance coverage. Our administrative
team will contact your insurance provider to
complete a benefits check and provide an
estimate of your potential costs, such as co-pays,
deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and coinsurance amounts. Because coverage and rates
are determined by your insurance provider, we
cannot guarantee the exact cost of services. We
highly recommend contacting your insurance
provider directly for the most accurate and upto-date information about your plan’s ABA
coverage.
Every child’s journey with ABA is unique.
The length of therapy depends on your child’s
individual needs, current skill set, and progress
over time. During the intake process, your clinical
team will create a transition and discharge plan
tailored to your child. This plan is reviewed and
updated regularly to ensure goals remain
meaningful and appropriate as your child grows.
Your ABA team will keep you informed about
progress, expectations, and anticipated timelines
throughout your child’s care.

ABA therapy itself is not harmful
—it is
rooted in science, compassion, and respect for
each individual’s unique needs. However, not all
ABA providers are the same. At Actify ABA, we
prioritize assent
-based, trauma
-informed, and
compassionate practices that support your child
with care and understanding. Our Clinical
Leadership Team continuously monitors
treatment to ensure that best practices are
followed, and your family receives the highest
quality of ethical care.
The first step is reaching out to Actify
ABA. Visit our “Contact Us” page, and our team
will guide you through every step of the process,
providing support along the way to ensure
everything is completed smoothly.
While we cannot predict what your
specific child’s ABA therapy journey will look like,
you can expect to receive a treatment plan that is
tailored to your child’s individual needs and
aligned with your family’s values. You can expect
clinical recommendations based on a
comprehensive assessment process, designed to
evaluate what level of services your clinician
recommends your child to receive based on their
clinical strengths and deficits. You can expect
consistent and frequent contact with your BCB
A,
involvement in the ABA process, and full access
to your child’s treatment. You can also expect
involved and supportive Clinical Leadership to
provide positive outcomes.
Most insurance plans currently cover
ABA therapy for children with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. That said,
ABA has been shown to be effective for many
other challenges, including ADHD, ODD, OCD,
and other behavioral concerns. If your child
doesn’t have an Autism diagnosis but you’re
interested in ABA, please contact us. Our Clinical
Team can talk through the options and help
determine the best approach to support your
child and your family.
Yes. At Actify ABA, our Clinical
Leadership Team has established clinical quality
standards to ensure that trauma-informed and
assent-based practices are used consistently.
These standards are updated regularly based on
the latest research to ensure all care is evidencedriven and delivered with compassion. Our
leadership team also monitors each client’s
treatment to ensure that families feel supported,
standards are met, and children receive safe,
caring, and effective services.
Your child’s BCBA will conduct a
comprehensive assessment of their strengths,
skills, and behavioral needs. Based on this
evaluation, the primary BCBA will provide an
individualized recommendation for treatment
hours tailored to your child’s unique needs. After
the intake process, this information is shared with
parents, and we work closely with your family to
create a schedule that aligns your child’s
availability with the recommended hours for the
most effective and convenient therapy plan.
