Does my child need an autism diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?
Yes! Your child will need a formal autism diagnosis before they can begin ABA therapy, receive insurance coverage, and access certain school programs. As a trusted ABA therapy provider, Action Behavior offers no-cost autism evaluations, including the ADOS-2, to help guide your next steps. Contact us today to learn more about the autism evaluation process.
What is ABA therapy and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis therapy is a research-backed method that helps children diagnosed with autism learn new skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. With ABA, children can improve communication, build daily living skills, and better understand their emotions. Our ABA therapists utilize different strategies, like Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Natural Environment Teaching (NET), to support each child’s progress. Therapy is delivered through a compassionate care framework and emphasizes the child’s individual needs and goals.
I think my child is showing signs of autism. Should I wait to get my child evaluated?
Many parents hope their child will catch up naturally, and it’s normal to feel unsure about when to pursue an evaluation. However, waiting too long to seek an autism diagnosis can mean missing valuable opportunities for early support.
Early diagnosis allows children to begin therapies like ABA sooner, which can improve communication, social interaction, and everyday learning. Starting ABA therapy early, ideally between 18 months and 5 years old, can give children the strongest foundation for long-term development.
