"I am very grateful because thanks to them I have noticed a big change in my son. He says many more words, he socializes more with people, something he didn’t do before, and he didn’t play with other children, but now he interacts more. Honestly, the change is significant.

FAQs About ABA Therapy

What is ABA therapy?

ABA therapy is a science-based approach that uses positive reinforcement and data tracking to help children with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills. It is one of the most well-researched, evidence-based interventions available for children on the autism spectrum.

How much does ABA therapy cost?

ABA therapy cost varies based on weekly hours, setting, provider credentials, and insurance benefits. Out-of-pocket costs can range widely, so families usually need a benefits check to know the real amount they may owe after deductibles, copays, or visit limits.

Does insurance cover ABA therapy?

Most major insurers cover ABA therapy for autism as a medically necessary treatment. Our intake team helps you verify your specific benefits and explains any out-of-pocket costs before you begin. We aim to make the financial side of care as clear as possible.

How long does ABA therapy last?

Duration depends on your child's goals and rate of progress. ABA programs are reviewed regularly and adjusted by the BCBA based on ongoing data, so therapy continues as long as it continues to produce meaningful progress.

Is ABA therapy effective for autism?

ABA therapy is one of the most studied behavioral approaches for autism. Evidence shows behavioral interventions can improve communication, learning, and daily functioning, though progress varies by child, treatment quality, and intensity. Early intervention is often linked with stronger long-term skill development.

Who oversees ABA therapy?

Programs are designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), a graduate-level clinician credentialed by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Daily sessions are delivered by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) under the direct supervision of a BCBA.

Where can ABA therapy take place?

ABA therapy can be delivered at home, at school, or in a clinical center, and availability depends on your location. Astro ABA currently offers these settings across the communities we serve in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio.

Why is caregiver training part of ABA therapy?

Skills learned in therapy transfer faster when practiced consistently at home. Caregiver training gives parents the same strategies therapists use, so progress does not stay limited to session time.

How does the intake process start?

Our intake begins when you contact our team to share your child's needs. We then verify your insurance coverage and schedule a clinical assessment with a BCBA. After creating a plan, we match your child with a technician to begin ABA therapy sessions.

What is the difference between home-based and center-based ABA therapy?

Home-based ABA therapy focuses on real-life routines in your child's natural environment, which is especially effective for daily living skills and caregiver involvement. Center-based ABA therapy provides a structured clinical setting suited to focused skill-building and peer interaction. Your child's BCBA recommends the best fit based on their goals.
