Frequently Asked Questions
ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is an evidence-based behavioral therapy approach that helps children with autism build the skills they need to thrive - including communication, social, language, emotional regulation, school readiness, motor or movement, and daily living skills (like toilet training and feeding). Every care plan is play-based, personalized, and guided by a licensed BCBA, adjusting over time based on your child's progress. Along the way, challenging moments like tantrums or meltdowns become learning opportunities that build confidence and independence.
Our center-based ABA programs are designed for toddlers and young children up to age 6, focusing on early intervention, school readiness, and comprehensive skill building across all domains. For children, teens, and young adults, we also offer in-home ABA services for anyone under 25. While ABA therapy is most effective the younger you start, it supports meaningful growth and progress at any age.
Yes, most insurance providers require a formal autism diagnosis to approve ABA therapy. If your child doesn't have one yet, we may be able to help! For families ready to move forward with ABA therapy, we offer access to our trusted network of diagnostic partners, with wait times as little as 4 weeks and a single intake specialist guiding you the whole way. Contact us to see if this option could be a fit for your family.
Yes - for families ready to move forward with ABA therapy, we can connect you with our trusted network of diagnostic partners to help you get a diagnosis in as little as 4 weeks, compared to the 6-month to 1-year wait time families often face elsewhere traditionally. While we don't perform evaluations in-house, your intake specialist will manage the referral and seamless transition into ABA therapy from start to finish, so there’s no re-explaining your situation to a new party every step Contact us to see if this option could be a fit for your family.
Most insurance plans cover ABA therapy as a medically necessary service. We're in-network with 125+ providers, including most major commercial and Medicaid plans, and our team will conduct a courtesy benefits check and walk you through what's covered.
Yes, we do! We’re in-network with most major commercial and Medicaid insurance plans. Contact us to learn more - our team can help verify your benefits and walk you through what’s covered before starting.

The cost of ABA therapy depends on your insurance plan and your child’s recommended hours - there's no one-size-fits-all number. Contact your insurance provider and ask about your specific ABA therapy benefits, copays, and deductibles. Once you contact us, our team can also help you understand your coverage and walk you through what to expect.
Getting started is easy! Simply contact us, and we’ll walk you through the entire process, including a courtesy benefits check, insurance authorization, assessment and care plan development with one of our expert BCBAs, and more.
Yes, ABA therapy is available in various formats that fit your family best. Our center-based ABA programs are for our early learners under 6, and they run full-day (ex: 8am-4pm), Monday through Friday (similar to preschool or daycare in format), with your child attending one of our state-of-the-art centers each day. For our in-home ABA care, sessions are scheduled around your child’s recommended treatment hours and your family’s routine - whether that’s mornings, during the day, or after school. Contact us to find the right fit for your child.
The number of recommended therapy hours is based on your child’s individual needs, goals, and assessment results. Just like a doctor carefully determines the right amount of medication for you or your child to thrive, our clinical team designs a personalized plan that provides the right level of support for meaningful, lasting progress. For many young children, this often means a comprehensive program ranging from 30-40 hours per week, always tailored to what will benefit your child most.
Yes! If your child is under 6 years old and you're interested in making the switch, our team will walk you through the specifics and help make that transition as smooth as possible.
Family involvement is a core part of the care plan. From the start, we guide you through our caregiver training program so you feel confident supporting your child at home, with ongoing check-ins and ideas to build on as your child grows. You'll also receive an update after every session, so you're always in the loop on your child's progress and milestones - no matter how big or small.
Families choose Behavior Frontiers because we don't just provide therapy - we show up as true partners in your child's autism journey. Since 2004, our clinician-founded and led programs have spanned center-based, in-home, and school settings, meeting your child wherever they are. Our proprietary clinical outcomes and reporting software, PrioraCare, makes progress visible in real time, so you're always in the loop - and families stay because they feel it from day one: the warmth, the celebration, and the genuine belief that their child has everything it takes to thrive.
