Frequently asked questions
View all FAQs
What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for autism that uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism reduce target behaviors and learn new skills.
ABA therapy, like that administered at Action Behavior Centers, is tailored to the individual needs of the child.
Does ABA therapy work for autism?
Yes! Every child with autism is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
What is the age range of children you serve?
We serve children on the autism spectrum from 18 months to 13 years and offer personalized programming for their unique needs. Therapy program options may differ based on the clinic. Please reach out directly to a clinic near you.

Does insurance cover ABA therapy?

At ABC, our insurance specialists handle the details, so you don’t have to. We verify your child’s ABA therapy coverage, complete any necessary pre-authorization paperwork, and directly bill the insurance company for services.
What is the ADOS-2 assessment?
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is the leading diagnostic tool specialists use to diagnose ASD. During this natural, play-based assessment, our expert clinicians work with children to evaluate their communication, social skills, and behaviors.
What is applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy?
ABA therapy is the gold standard for helping children with autism learn and meet milestones. This evidence-based therapy method helps children reduce target behaviors through play, positive reinforcement, and other ABA techniques.
What is the CAST?
The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST) is a 39-item questionnaire for parents that focuses on behaviors and abilities that can indicate ASD. It can help identify children who may benefit from further evaluation and intervention.
What is the M-CHAT?
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT™) is a screening tool that parents can use to identify early signs of ASD in children ages 16 to 30 months old. It consists of questions parents answer about their child’s development. If a child receives a high-risk score, they should receive further evaluation by an autism specialist.
