This is one of the most common concerns we hear from Fort Stewart families, and it’s a valid one. When PCS orders arrive, ABA Journey works with your family to document your child’s current programming, share progress data, and prepare a transition summary that any receiving provider can use to maintain continuity. We coordinate with EFMP Systems Navigators at ACS who can help connect you with ABA providers at your next installation. The goal is to make sure the progress your child has built doesn’t get lost in the move — and that new clinicians aren’t starting from scratch when you land at your next duty station.

Our clinicians actively collaborate with teachers and support staff at Diamond Elementary, Kessler Elementary, and Brittin Elementary — Fort Stewart’s three on-post DoDEA schools. We communicate with educators about your child’s behavioral goals, classroom strategies, and any tools like visual schedules or token boards being used in therapy so they can reinforce them during the school day. For children with IEPs, our BCBAs can participate in IEP team meetings when appropriate and ensure that therapy goals and school goals are aligned. DoDEA operates under its own special education framework, and our team is familiar with how that differs from state-run public school systems.

Yes. In-home therapy is one of our primary service delivery models, and we provide sessions directly in on-post housing neighborhoods including Liberty Woods, Marne Homes, Marne Woods, Coastal Ridge, New Marne, North Bryan Village, South Bryan Village, and Isenhower Terrace. Sessions happen in your home, which means your child learns skills in the environment where they spend most of their time — their own rooms, their kitchen, their backyard. This also makes parent participation easier, since caregivers can observe and practice strategies as part of the session.

EFMP is a mandatory Army program that helps active duty families with dependents who have special medical or educational needs — including autism spectrum disorder — navigate assignments, access services, and coordinate care. At Fort Stewart, the EFMP office is located at Building 86 on Lindquist Road, and EFMP Systems Navigators can help you locate ABA providers in your area, understand TRICARE’s ACD coverage, and prepare for school transitions. Enrolling in EFMP is typically required before your child can access the Extended Care Health Option (ECHO) that covers ABA services through TRICARE. Our team is familiar with this process and can support families who are in the middle of it.

Significantly flexible. We understand that duty schedules, physical training requirements, and field exercise rotations create unpredictability that most civilian therapy providers aren’t designed for. ABA Journey’s Fort Stewart team offers afternoon, evening, and weekend sessions specifically to accommodate the rhythms of active duty life. If a session needs to shift because of a last-minute duty obligation, we work with you to reschedule rather than creating gaps in your child’s program. We also offer parent training components that give caregivers practical tools to use between sessions, so your child’s progress isn’t entirely dependent on a rigid weekly calendar.

Early intervention — typically between ages 2 and 5 — tends to produce the strongest long-term outcomes, but ABA therapy is effective across a wide age range. Children at Fort Stewart who are already in DoDEA elementary school can benefit significantly from therapy that aligns with their classroom environment and IEP goals. If you’ve recently arrived at Fort Stewart and your child had an ASD diagnosis and active ABA program at your previous duty station, reaching out to us early — even before your household goods arrive — gives us time to review prior records and start the authorization process so there’s minimal gap in services.

Every child’s program includes structured data collection during each session. BCBAs review that data regularly to track whether goals are being met, identify areas that need adjustment, and ensure that skills are generalizing across settings — meaning your child isn’t just performing well during sessions but applying those skills at school, at Corkan Recreation Area, or during daily routines at home. Parents receive progress updates and are part of the review process. When a child reaches a milestone, goals are updated to keep growth moving forward. For families at Fort Stewart who may transfer before a program is complete, we make sure documentation and progress data are always current.

Yes. Many military families at Fort Stewart choose to live off-post in Hinesville, Richmond Hill, Midway, or Flemington, and ABA Journey serves these communities as well. We have dedicated location pages for both Hinesville and Richmond Hill with information specific to those communities. Whether you’re in on-post housing or renting in Hinesville, our team can confirm service availability and discuss session formats that work for your location.
