Frequently asked questions at our Deer Valley, Arizona, ABA therapy center
What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for autism that uses positive reinforcement and play-based techniques to help children reduce target behaviors and learn new skills. ABA therapy at Action Behavior Centers' Deer Valley location in Phoenix, Arizona, is tailored to the individual needs of the child.
What is the M-CHAT-R-R autism screener?
The M-CHAT-R-R is a trusted screening tool used by families in Phoenix’s Deer Valley neighborhood to detect early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It’s designed to maximize sensitivity, ensuring as many children as possible who may benefit from evaluation are identified early.
The doctor said my child's development is delayed and suggested waiting to test for autism. Is that a good idea?
It’s understandable to want to trust that your child will catch up on their own, but waiting to seek an autism diagnosis in the Greater Phoenix area can mean missing important chances for early intervention. Getting an early autism diagnosis lets your child start therapies like ABA sooner, which can improve communication and interactions with others. Starting ABA therapy at our Deer Valley autism center early, ideally between 18 months and 5 years, gives your child the best chance to grow and reach their goals.
Does my child need an autism diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?
Yes, a formal autism diagnosis is required before a child can begin ABA therapy at Deer Valley in Phoenix, Arizona. An autism diagnosis is necessary before a child can access early intervention services, qualify for insurance coverage, and receive autism support in school. Action Behavior Centers offers no-cost autism evaluations at our Deer Valley ABA therapy location, including the ADOS-2.
What is the age range of children you serve in Phoenix?
At our Deer Valley autism therapy center in Phoenix, Arizona, we serve children diagnosed with autism from 18 months to 12 years and offer personalized ABA therapy to meet their needs.
