How to Get Started with ABA Therapy in St. Petersburg

Step 1: Schedule a Free Consultation

We take the time to understand your child's unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Our team listens carefully to your concerns and provides insights into how ABA therapy can benefit your child. This initial conversation helps set the foundation for a personalized approach.

Step 2: Verify Your Insurance

We know dealing with insurance can feel complicated. Our team will walk you through the process, confirm your coverage, and help you get the approvals needed for ABA therapy services. We ensure you understand all the available options so you can make an informed decision.

Step 3: Personalized Therapy Plan

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) conducts a comprehensive assessment and develops a customized therapy plan. This plan includes clear, measurable goals designed to enhance communication, social skills, independence, and behavior management. Each plan is designed with your child’s unique personality and needs in mind.

Step 4: Therapy Begins

Therapy sessions take place at home or school, in the environment where your child feels most comfortable. Our therapists provide one-on-one support while regularly tracking progress and making necessary adjustments to ensure continued success. We keep families involved every step of the way to maximize long-term growth.
