Frequently Asked Questions
What is school-based ABA therapy?
How does school-based ABA therapy complement my child's education?
School-based ABA therapy complements your child's education by addressing the behavioral and social barriers that may interfere with learning. We align our therapy goals with educational objectives and IEP requirements, helping your child develop skills needed for classroom success. Our therapists target specific behaviors like attending to tasks, following classroom routines, transitioning between activities, and engaging appropriately with peers and teachers. This integrated approach ensures your child can access the curriculum more effectively and participate fully in the school experience.
Â
How do you coordinate with my child's teachers and school staff?
We establish strong collaborative relationships with your child's educational team. After obtaining proper consent, our BCBAs conduct initial meetings with teachers and relevant staff to understand classroom expectations and your child's specific needs. We schedule regular coordination meetings, share progress updates, and provide training for school staff on effective strategies. Our therapists communicate daily with teachers, ensuring consistent approaches across all interactions with your child. This teamwork creates a unified support system that maximizes your child's progress.
Â
Will my child be pulled out of class for therapy?
Our approach prioritizes inclusion and minimal disruption to your child's educational experience. While some situations may require brief one-on-one sessions, our therapists primarily work alongside your child within the regular classroom environment. We provide support during naturally occurring activities, helping your child navigate classroom demands, social interactions, and academic tasks in real-time. This embedded approach allows for immediate feedback and ensures skills are developed within the contexts where they're most needed.
How is progress monitored in the school environment?
We implement systematic data collection procedures to track your child's progress toward specific goals. Our therapists document behavioral observations, skill acquisition, and response to interventions throughout the school day. This data is analyzed weekly by our BCBAs to measure progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. We provide regular progress reports to both parents and appropriate school personnel, and we schedule formal progress reviews every 3-6 months to ensure continued advancement toward established goals.
Â
Will my insurance cover school-based ABA therapy?
Many insurance plans cover school-based ABA therapy services. Our experienced insurance verification team will work directly with your insurance provider to determine coverage specific to your plan. We handle all necessary documentation, including obtaining authorizations for school-based services. For families with limited or no coverage, we can discuss alternative funding options, including regional center funding, educational funding through the school district, or our sliding scale fee program for qualifying families.
