When a child is first diagnosed with autism, parents naturally have many questions about therapy options, services, and what to expect. At Centerpointe for Children, we’re here to provide clarity, guidance, and support every step of the way. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions parents ask about autism therapy and our services.

What Is ABA Therapy and How Does It Help?

Does My Child Need a Formal Diagnosis to Start Services?

What Ages of Children Do You Work With?

We provide services for children across a range of ages, from toddlers through school-age children. Our programs are customized to meet each child’s unique developmental needs.

Will Insurance Cover ABA Therapy?
