Frequently asked questions at our Bellaire 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 learn new skills and reach milestone moments. ABA therapy at Action Behavior Centers – Bellaire in Houston, Texas, is tailored to the individual needs of the child.
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 our Bellaire center in Houston, Texas. An autism diagnosis is necessary to access early intervention services, qualify for insurance coverage, and to receive autism support in school. Action Behavior Centers offers no-cost autism evaluations in Houston, including the ADOS-2.
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 Houston area can mean missing important chances for early intervention. Early autism diagnosis lets your child start therapies like ABA sooner, which can improve their communication and interactions with others. Starting ABA therapy at our Bellaire, Texas autism center early, ideally between the ages of 18 months and 5, gives your child the best chance to grow and reach their goals.
What is the age range of children you serve in Greater Houston?
