Frequently Asked Questions
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based practice that is used to improve both developmental deficits and challenging behaviors in individuals with autism and related disabilities. The goal of ABA therapy is to focus on improving the quality of life for the individual and their family by addressing socially significant behaviors.
How do I know ABA is right for me?
ABA is recognized by the U.S. Surgeon General as the most effective treatment for autism. Beyond autism, ABA is also beneficial for individuals with a variety of other diagnoses, supporting improvements in emotional regulation, social skills, executive functioning, and anxiety management.

How Help Happens
At Beyond Behavior ABA, we go beyond traditional ABA therapy by fostering an empathetic, child-centered approach. We provide compassionate, high-quality ABA therapy to individuals of all ages on the autism spectrum. Our treatment programs are individualized to each client's unique needs while ensuring they feel heard, seen, and respected every step of the way.
Clinical Services
At Beyond Behavior, we provide personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Our services are focused on promoting skill development, improving communication, and encouraging social engagement. Through a compassionate, family-centered approach, we prioritize building trust and collaboration with our clients and their families. We work together to create meaningful treatment plans that foster long-term success. Our goal is to empower individuals to reach their full potential, thrive in all areas of life, and actively participate in their communities.
Assessments and Evaluations
We conduct a range of assessments tailored to each learner's unique needs. During our evaluation process, we carefully select the most appropriate assessments to identify areas of growth and guide the development of treatment goals. Additionally, we perform Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) to understand challenging behaviors and hypothesize their underlying functions. This information is used to create a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), which outlines strategies to reduce maladaptive behaviors and promote positive outcomes. These assessments and evaluations can be completed independently or as part of the initial intake process of ABA therapy.
In-Home ABA Therapy
Our In-Home ABA Therapy provides personalized, one-on-one support in the comfort of your home. Designed to meet the individual needs of each learner, our therapy focuses on skill development, behavior management, and caregiver support. With a family-centered approach, we collaborate closely with families to create a tailored treatment plan that supports meaningful progress and long-term success. In-home therapy offers the flexibility to work in a familiar environment, promoting natural learning opportunities and encouraging generalization of skills across everyday situations.
Caregiver Support
Being a parent/caregiver is one of the most rewarding yet challenging experiences we can have in our lifetime, and we understand the importance of having a strong support system. We believe that parent and caregiver involvement is essential to the success of ABA therapy. We provide ongoing support and training to help you better understand your child’s needs and how to effectively implement ABA strategies at home. Through regular communication and guidance, we ensure that you feel empowered and confident in your role. Our team works collaboratively with you to strengthen your ability to support your child’s progress, helping to create a positive and consistent learning environment both at home and in the community.

Together, we can go beyond behavior and create lasting, meaningful outcomes.
