View all FAQs
Does my child need an autism diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?
Yes. A formal autism diagnosis is required for insurance coverage, school-based services, and access to ABA therapy. ABC provides autism evaluations, including the ADOS-2 and Initial Diagnostic Evaluations (IDEs), to help families get started.
What is ABA therapy and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is a gold standard in care for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It helps children build practical skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. Through ABA therapy, children can improve communication, develop self-care routines, and better manage emotions.
At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), our Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) and Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) use positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to support growth. Families are active partners in therapy, working with our clinical team to set goals and track progress.
I think my child is showing signs of autism. Should I wait to get my child evaluated?
It’s understandable to want to trust that your child will catch up on their own, but waiting to seek an autism diagnosis can mean missing important chances for early intervention. Getting an early autism diagnosis lets your child start therapies like ABA sooner, which can improve their communication and interactions with others. Starting ABA therapy early, ideally between 18 months and 5 years, gives your child the best chance to grow and reach their goals.
