If I could give them 10 stars I would. From the very start they made my husband and I comfortable with the process, kept us informed, worked with us to help us get better at communicating with our son and understanding how to work with him. From there the experience just kept getting better. Our son loved going in every day. They found ways to motivate him and keep him engaged. Our son who barely made eye contact and had no interest in interacting with others only a year ago, graduated this year from ABA and it was the most bittersweet day I can imagine. I stood there crying because I was so grateful for the tribe of people who cared so much for my child that it was hard to imagine him not getting to see them every day. I was so proud of what he had accomplished and how far he had come and so grateful for all the work they put in, but so worried for where he was going to be without them and knowing he would never havee a support system in this capacity again. Yesterday he started kindergarten, he went in sat down and was ready to learn. He got points for teamwork and for participating and being on task. My son who couldn't sit still for more than a minute when he started and refused to pay attention to others is a productive member of a classroom because of the skills he learned at ABC. Enrolling him there was the best decision I've ever made and I couldn't possibly encourage it more.

Thank you to the therapists and administration at ABC therapy. We were not sure how to proceed with helping my son with his diagnosis. We have seen marked improvement in his behavior and more importantly his coping skills. This reflects the professionalism that each of the team members exhibits on a daily basis. It is great to see caring team members who have the skills and are willing to work with my son and help make him the best person we know he is. Thank you for your continued help and support!

Action behavior centers has helped us from the beginning, we received the autism diagnosis from them and proceeded with ABA. We were hesitant at first because of all the controversy you hear about ABA therapy. After much research, looking into multiple options and clinics we decided to proceed and give action behavior centers a try. I'm so glad we did, our daughter, who was once non verbal is saying and signing 20 plus words in such a short amount of time. My daughter is so aware of what's going on around her now and absolutely enjoys going to therapy daily. The communication is great with her therapists, all the staff are so sweet. I truly feel my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off and the progress my daughter has made is unbelievable.

I cannot say enough about what an incredibly, remarkable place this is! Receiving our son’s diagnosis felt so overwhelming, but they have completely put our hearts at ease, the entire staff has been unbelievably kind and helpful. They are incredibly knowledgeable on working with children on the spectrum. I cannot imagine how challenging their jobs can be, but it is so evident that they have a true love and passion to see each child progress. They have taken the time to understand my sons needs and have even given us strategies and plans to use at home! Special shout out to Mr. Craig, Mr. Michael, Mr. Robert, Ms. Tiara, Ms. April, and Ms. Ivy, thank you for all your hard work and always loving my son, there will never be enough words of gratitude for how much you mean to our family ! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!

Our team – and the vast majority of autism experts in the United States – are committed to ABA therapy as the key treatment for those on the Autism Spectrum. Why? It’s simple. ABA therapy has helped non-verbal children speak, those without social skills interact with others, those with aggression eliminate their problem behaviors, and so much more.
Yes, in most cases. Depending on state mandates, your insurance provider may be required to cover ABA services. We are happy to help you navigate the specific benefit and eligibility information for your insurance policy.
If you have questions about what is the best insurance provider for autism therapy, please contact us. Our insurance experts will be pleased to answer any questions and provide guidance on getting the best coverage for your child.
ABA therapy will address the developmental deficiencies identified during an initial assessment of your child’s functioning across dozens of areas. With children on the autism spectrum, this often includes areas of verbal communication, like the ability to converse with parents and peers, request items, and communicate emotions and needs. Nonverbal communication, like making gestures and understanding social cues, can also be developed. Other important target areas of ABA include social skills, play skills, potty training, self-care skills (brushing teeth, washing hands, etc.), and day-to-day living skills (getting dressed, table manners, etc.).
ABA treatment for autism is heavily researched, and virtually every peer-reviewed research study on ABA describes early intensive intervention as the best practice. ABA therapy is the gold standard for a clinically-validated and heavily researched approach to helping children with autism.
First and foremost, a child and a therapist will “pair,” meaning they will simply take time to play, get comfortable with each other, and establish a good relationship. Based on a child’s individualized treatment plan, specific therapy goals will be worked on each day. Therapists will collect data on the success rate with each goal, and once a goal is mastered, children will move on to the next. Common therapy goals might include pointing to objects to indicate want or need, playing appropriately with toys, matching pictures and objects, learning sounds and words, potty training, and so much more.
Applied Behavior Analysis is likely a phrase that you haven’t used much in your life. Let’s break it down: -Applied (this is an applied, or practical, method that we use). -Behavior (we all have an intuitive sense of this word – behavior is what people do) -Analysis (the study or investigation into something) Applied Behavior Analysis seeks to understand why a child does something (analyzing behavior) and then applies this within the child’s individualized lessons. An example: a child screams loudly. We’ll work to understand why the child screams – this is called the “function” of the behavior. If we can understand why the screaming occurs (the child is triggered by a small change in routine), we can then do something about it (slowly introduce the child to different kinds of transitions, work on regulating emotions).
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are passionate about ABA therapy and all that it can do. A BCBA is a master’s or doctoral-level healthcare practitioner that uses the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to assist with developmental issues, especially autism spectrum disorders. At Action Behavior Centers, our BCBAs have multiple years of experience working with children of a wide range of ages and functions. Our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are certified through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. In addition, before being paired with a Kiddo for 1:1 therapy, each RBT is provided with extensive on-site training to ensure they have the skills to effectively help children with a range of behavioral challenges. Our team members are very excited to help make a difference in the lives of you and your family members.
