FAQs
ABA therapy is a structured, data-driven approach to understanding and improving behavior. It applies principles of learning theory to increase desirable behaviors and decrease challenging behaviors.
We are a primarily clinic-based ABA and speech provider but can discuss the specific needs of your child. Our clinic will support in the school environment based on the needs of the child and assist with transitions into the school environment by collaborating with the school and teachers involved.
Sessions can vary in length depending on the child’s needs. Many of our learners follow an 8-hour therapy day, either 8am to 4pm or 8:30am to 4:30pm. Half days may be recommended based on the learner and can be discussed based on the family’s needs as well.
Many insurance plans cover ABA therapy, especially when it is deemed medically necessary for individuals with ASD or other developmental disorders. Coverage can vary, so it’s essential to check with your insurance provider.
Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in ABA therapy by implementing techniques and strategies learned during sessions into the daily routine. Consistency and reinforcement of skills outside of therapy sessions are key to generalizing learned behaviors. WePlay boasts an open-door policy where our parents have time daily to debrief with their morning and afternoon therapists to increase carryover and generalization of skills. BCBAs are available daily to communicate with parents and give updates about the skills and progress within each child’s program. Parent training is a monthly expectation and can be scheduled in the clinic, home, or community environments.
Look for providers who employ Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or those working under the supervision of a BCBA. Ensure the provider is licensed, experienced, and knowledgeable in ABA techniques. It is also recommended, or preferred, to find a provider who will provide an in-person, hands-on approach opposed to a virtual supervision model of care.
Depending on our current waitlist length, we will give you an estimated time that we can begin services with your child at the time of inquiry. Depending on the current capacity of our buildings and status of trained staff on board, the wait may vary.
