    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

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common Questions About ABA Therapy

    Families throughout our three-state region often have similar questions when beginning ABA therapy. Whether you live in metro Atlanta, the Charlotte suburbs, the Research Triangle, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, understanding how sessions work, what coverage is available, and how therapy fits into your child’s daily life can help you feel confident about taking the next step. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often from parents in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.

    What is ABA therapy and how does it help children with autism?

    Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children with autism develop essential skills including communication, social interaction, daily living activities, and emotional regulation. ABA uses positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and reduce challenging ones, with treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs.

    Is ABA therapy covered by insurance in Georgia?

    Yes, ABA therapy is covered by Georgia Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. ABA Journey works with major providers including Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Peach State, Ambetter, CareSource, and Amerigroup. Our team helps verify your benefits and handles insurance authorizations.

    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.

    Our BCBA met with our daughter's teacher at her Fairfax County elementary school and created strategies that work in both settings. The consistency between home and classroom has been transformative.
