All about ABA Therapy

What age range does Achieve serve?

Achieve Behavior Centers provides ABA therapy for children from 18 months through early elementary school years. We focus on building foundational skills that prepare children for long-term success at home, in school, and in the community.

How is progress tracked in ABA therapy?

Our team uses data-driven methods to track your child’s progress in real time. Every skill is broken down into measurable goals, and adjustments are made based on your child’s growth. You’ll receive regular updates and meet with your child’s BCBA to review outcomes and adjust goals as needed.

What is ABA therapy and how does it help children with autism?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a research-backed approach that helps children with autism build essential skills through play, positive reinforcement, and individualized teaching. At Achieve Behavior Centers, every child’s program is tailored to their unique strengths, challenges, and goals.

What does a typical day of ABA therapy look like at Achieve?

ABA therapy at Achieve is active, fun, and highly personalized. While some table-based activities help with school readiness, most learning happens through play, movement, and natural routines. Children participate in one-on-one sessions, social play groups, and structured activities led by experienced therapists.

Does my child need a diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?

Yes. To begin ABA services and receive insurance coverage, a formal autism diagnosis is required. If your child is showing signs of autism but hasn’t been formally diagnosed yet, we can help guide you through the evaluation process.

When should my child start ABA therapy?

The earlier, the better. Clinical studies show that children who begin ABA therapy around age 2 often make the greatest developmental gains. Early intervention can lead to stronger communication skills, improved social behaviors, and better school readiness outcomes.

Questions about Achieve

How do you handle challenging behaviors?

Challenging behaviors are addressed with compassion and evidence-based strategies. We don’t punish or shame—ever. Instead, we focus on understanding the reason behind a behavior and teaching new, more helpful ways to communicate or cope.

How do I get started with Achieve Behavior Centers?

Getting started is simple. Reach out to our admissions team, and we’ll guide you through the steps—insurance verification, diagnostic support (if needed), and an initial consultation. Once you’re enrolled, we’ll match your child with a BCBA and create a plan tailored just for them.

What role do parents play in the therapy process?

Parents are essential partners in ABA therapy at Achieve. We provide regular caregiver training and goal-setting sessions so families can carry over skills at home. This collaboration ensures your child continues learning and growing in everyday settings.
