What to Look For in ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children with autism develop communication, social, and daily living skills. ABA uses positive reinforcement to encourage helpful behaviors and reduce challenging ones.

  • Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervision
  • Experience with your child's age group
  • Individualized treatment plans
  • Parent training component
  • Data-driven progress tracking

Insurance: California law (SB 946) requires health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism. Medi-Cal and Regional Centers may also fund services.
