Why ABA Therapy is the Gold Standard
What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the gold standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder. Backed by over 50 years of research, ABA uses evidence-based techniques to help children develop communication skills, build social connections, and gain independence in daily life.
At ABA Journey, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) create individualized treatment plans tailored to your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. We focus on positive reinforcement strategies that make learning engaging and effective, whether therapy happens at home, at school, or in community settings.
ABA therapy can help your child with:
- Communication and language development
- Social skills and peer interactions
- Daily living skills (toileting, dressing, mealtime routines)
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Academic readiness and classroom behavior
- Reducing challenging behaviors

How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?
ABA therapy may benefit children who have an autism diagnosis and experience challenges with communication, social skills, behavior regulation, or daily living activities. If you’re concerned about your child’s development, schedule a free consultation with our team to discuss whether ABA therapy is appropriate.
What should I expect during the first ABA therapy session?
The first sessions focus on building rapport between your child and their therapist. The BCBA will conduct assessments to understand your child’s current skills and identify goals. Sessions typically involve play-based activities that feel natural and engaging for your child.
Does ABA Journey provide in-home therapy?
Yes, in-home ABA therapy is one of our primary service options. We also offer school-based therapy, community-based sessions, and telehealth services. Many families prefer in-home therapy because children often feel more comfortable learning in familiar environments.
How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies based on each child’s needs and goals. Some children benefit from intensive therapy (20-40 hours per week) while others do well with fewer hours. Your BCBA will recommend an appropriate schedule and adjust it as your child makes progress. Many children receive ABA services for 1-3 years.
