Navigating the journey of ABA therapy can bring up many questions. We’re here to provide clear, helpful answers to some of the most common queries we receive from families. For any further questions or to discuss your child’s specific needs, please contact us directly. Our team at Higher Ground ABA is here to support you every step of the way.
The waitlist for our services varies by location. We strive to accommodate families as quickly as possible and can provide you with the current wait times for your specific area upon inquiry.
An autism diagnosis is not strictly required to begin ABA services with us. However, it’s important to note that most insurance providers will only cover ABA therapy if there is an official diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We can discuss alternative options for families without a diagnosis or those seeking services not covered by insurance.
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy hours varies significantly between policies. Our team will work with you to verify your benefits, including coverage details, deductibles, co-pays, and the number of hours allowed for ABA therapy. We encourage families to also reach out to their insurance provider or employer’s HR department for specific policy information.
Results from ABA therapy can vary widely among individuals, as success is influenced by many factors, including consistency and follow-through. Regular attendance and active participation in therapy sessions, along with implementing strategies at home, are crucial. While individual progress differs, the goal of ABA therapy is to improve communication, social skills, and behavior, leading to a better quality of life.
Choosing between home and center-based ABA therapy depends on several factors, including your child’s needs, family goals, availability, financial considerations, and insurance coverage. Our treatment team will provide recommendations based on a thorough assessment of your child’s needs. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and we are committed to supporting your choice and accommodating your family’s needs to the best of our ability.
Family involvement is crucial to the success of ABA therapy. We recommend a balanced approach that includes both 1:1 therapy for your child and caregiver training for family members. By learning effective ABA techniques and strategies, families can reinforce learning and behavior goals outside of therapy sessions, enhancing overall progress. Our team will guide you on how to best support your child’s development through active participation in the therapy process.
