Frequently Asked Questions
Behavioral Horizons ABA LLC offers two types of services. Browse the questions below based on your needs — whether you're looking for clinical ABA services or autism-informed travel consulting.
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a scientifically based approach used to understand and modify behaviors. The therapy is highly personalized, ensuring that goals and strategies are tailored to meet the unique needs and abilities of each individual.
What types of behavior can ABA address?
Through a combination of structured interventions and positive reinforcement techniques, ABA helps individuals develop critical life skills such as:
-
Communication (using words, sign language, aac devices)
-
Social interactions (initiating conversation, sharing, taking turns)
-
Daily living skills (washing hands, getting dressed, eating independently)
-
Reducing challenging behaviors (aggression, tantrums, self-injury)
Is ABA effective?
ABA therapy is considered one of the most effective treatments for individuals with autism. However, its success can vary because it depends on factors such as the child's age, severity of the condition, and how early the therapy begins. Generally, the earlier ABA therapy is introduced, the better the outcomes.
Who benefits from ABA?
ABA therapy benefits individuals of all ages, but it is most commonly used with children diagnosed with autism. It can also help people with other developmental disorders, speech delays, ADHD, and those exhibiting challenging behaviors.
What ages do you work with?
We provide services to children between the ages of 2-8 years old.
Do you accept insurance?
No. We currently provide services through private pay only. However, we can provide Superbills (detailed invoices) if families wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider.
Are there any concerns or criticisms about ABA therapy?
Some criticisms of ABA therapy stem from its early practices, which were sometimes rigid and overly focused on compliance. The field has evolved over the years, so ABA is now much more child-centered and focuses on positive reinforcement, respect, and individualization.
