Question 1

What is ABA therapy?

Accepted Answer

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that uses the science of learning and behavior to help individuals develop meaningful skills. It is recognized by the U.S. Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics as the most effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder.

Question 2

What age range do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We provide services for children ages 18 months through 21 years. Early intervention (before age 5) typically yields the strongest outcomes, but children of all ages benefit from ABA therapy.

Question 3

How many hours per week does my child need?

Accepted Answer

Treatment intensity varies based on your child's individual needs. After a comprehensive assessment, your BCBA will recommend a treatment plan that may range from 10 to 40 hours per week. We work with each family to create a schedule that fits their lifestyle.

Question 4

Do you accept my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We are in-network with most major insurance providers in Florida, including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Florida Medicaid plans (Sunshine Health, Staywell, Prestige). Our insurance specialists will verify your benefits at no cost before services begin.

Question 5

Where does therapy take place?

Accepted Answer

We offer in-home ABA therapy throughout Miami-Dade County, as well as school-based and community-based services. Therapy in your home allows skills to be practiced in the environment where they matter most.

Question 6

What credentials does your team hold?

Accepted Answer

All programs are designed and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Direct therapy is provided by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) under ongoing BCBA supervision, as required by the BACB.

Question 7

How do you measure progress?

Accepted Answer

We use continuous data collection during every session to track your child's progress objectively. Your BCBA reviews this data regularly and adjusts the treatment plan accordingly. Families receive progress reports and participate in regular review meetings.

Question 8

How long does treatment last?

Accepted Answer

The duration of ABA therapy depends on your child's individual goals and progress. Some children achieve their goals within 1-2 years, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your BCBA will provide ongoing recommendations based on your child's data.

Can I observe therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We encourage family involvement. Parents and caregivers are welcome to observe sessions, and parent training is a core component of our programs to help you support your child's progress at home.

What is the difference between a BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT?

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) holds a master's degree and designs treatment programs. A BCaBA (Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst) assists the BCBA with program implementation. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) provides direct 1:1 therapy under BCBA supervision.
