Deciding to start ABA therapy is an important step for families of children with autism. At Centerpointe for Children, we know this process can feel overwhelming, so we want to make it easier by answering key questions families should consider before beginning services.

How Long Does Therapy Take?

Each child’s therapy journey is unique. Some may need intensive daily sessions, while others may benefit from shorter, targeted programs. The length of therapy depends on your child’s individual goals and progress.

What Will My Child’s Program Look Like?

Our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design customized treatment plans based on assessments and family input. Therapy may focus on communication, social interaction, self-care, and reducing challenging behaviors.

How Are Parents Involved in ABA Therapy?

Parents play a vital role in therapy. We provide training and guidance so families can support their child’s progress at home and in everyday situations.

What If My Child Has Other Services Too?

Many children receive multiple types of support, such as speech or occupational therapy. ABA can complement these services, and we’re happy to collaborate with other providers to ensure well-rounded care.

Starting ABA therapy may feel daunting, but with the right team, it becomes a collaborative and rewarding process. At Centerpointe for Children, we guide families through every step, ensuring both parents and children feel supported.
