ABA Therapy for Children with Autism and Special Needs

At AWC Behavioral Health, we provide ABA therapy that is evidence-based, outcomes-focused, and designed to support meaningful growth for children with autism and other developmental needs. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality applied behavior analysis programs that help children build new skills, strengthen communication, reduce challenging behaviors, and increase independence across home, school, and community settings. We take pride in offering compassionate and personalized autism therapy services that address each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. By partnering closely with families, we work to create positive and lasting change that supports long-term development and improved quality of life.

What Is ABA Therapy

ABA therapy, or applied behavior analysis, is a scientifically validated approach that focuses on understanding behavior, teaching new skills, and creating positive behavior change. ABA is considered the gold standard of autism therapy services because it uses data-driven techniques that are proven to help children learn effectively and consistently. Through ABA, we break down complex skills into manageable steps, reinforce positive actions, and use structured teaching methods that support learning in a natural and meaningful way. ABA therapy can address a wide range of developmental needs, including communication, social interaction, play skills, academic readiness, emotional regulation, daily living skills, and behavior reduction. Our approach is highly individualized, ensuring each child receives a customized treatment plan that aligns with their developmental goals.

Key Areas of Improvement

Our ABA programs target the skills that matter most for a child’s long-term success. By identifying priority goals and using proven strategies, we support growth across multiple developmental domains.
cognitive

Communication Skills

We help children improve expressive and receptive communication so they can better express needs, understand others, and build stronger relationships. This may include teaching verbal language, gestures, picture-based communication, or the use of assistive technology. Strong communication skills often reduce frustration and create more positive interactions throughout daily life.

Social Skills

Our ABA therapy programs support children in developing essential social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, eye contact, cooperative play, and understanding social cues. We use structured teaching and natural opportunities to help children practice these skills in real situations. Increased social engagement leads to stronger peer relationships and improved social confidence.

behavioral

Behavior Improvement

ABA is widely recognized for its effectiveness in addressing challenging behaviors. We work to understand why a behavior is occurring and develop strategies that promote healthier alternatives. This may include reducing behaviors such as aggression, self-injury, tantrums, or noncompliance. By teaching new skills and reinforcing positive behaviors, we help children navigate daily routines with greater ease and self-regulation.

Daily Living and Independence

Independence is an important goal for every child. We support daily living skills such as dressing, feeding, toileting, hygiene routines, transitions, following instructions, and completing simple household tasks. Our goal is to help children develop the skills they need to participate confidently and independently in daily life.

In-Home vs Clinic-Based ABA

We offer both in-home and clinic-based ABA therapy to provide families with flexible options that meet their child’s needs.

In-home services

In-Home ABA

In-home ABA allows children to learn skills in their natural environment. This approach is helpful for goals related to daily routines, communication, behavior, and family functioning. By working directly inside the home, our therapists can address real-life challenges and provide parents with ongoing guidance. In-home services support strong generalization of skills and help children apply what they learn across different activities throughout the day.
Clinic-Based ABA

Clinic-Based ABA

Clinic-based ABA therapy provides a structured and distraction-controlled environment where children can focus on skill acquisition, social interaction, and behavior improvement. Clinics often offer more opportunities for peer engagement, social groups, and focused learning sessions. This setting is ideal for children who benefit from a structured routine or need additional support practicing new skills before transferring them to home or community settings. Both service models are effective. Our team works with families to determine the approach that best supports their child’s needs, goals, and learning style.

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. This includes direct observation, family interviews, and standardized assessments that help us understand the child’s strengths, challenges, communication level, social skills, and daily functioning. Based on the assessment, we identify priority goals that guide the child’s individualized treatment plan.

RBT Direct Therapy Sessions

Registered Behavior Technicians deliver direct one-on-one therapy sessions under the supervision of the BCBA. RBTs work with the child regularly to implement teaching procedures, collect data, reinforce positive behaviors, and guide skill development. Therapy sessions may take place in the home, clinic, school, or community, based on the family’s needs.

Parent Involvement and Training

Parents are essential to a child’s success. Our ABA therapy programs include ongoing parent training to help families understand behavior, use effective strategies, and support skills outside therapy sessions. This collaboration ensures consistency and helps children generalize what they learn across all environments.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

We continually monitor progress using data-based methods. The BCBA reviews data, observes sessions, and adjusts the treatment plan as needed to ensure the child continues making steady and meaningful progress.

funding process

Insurance and Funding

We work with many major insurance providers to make ABA therapy accessible and affordable for families. Our team supports families throughout the entire funding process by verifying benefits, explaining coverage, and answering questions related to authorizations and service approvals. We strive to make the insurance process as straightforward as possible so families can focus on what matters most: their child’s progress. If you are unsure whether your insurance plan covers ABA therapy, our team is happy to assist with verification and next steps.
