New to ABA? We’re Here to Help

Starting Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re hearing a lot of new terms or aren’t sure what to expect. At PATTERNS ABA COMPANY LLC, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and make the process as clear and supportive as possible.

What Is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy commonly used to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental delays. ABA focuses on teaching meaningful skills that help children communicate, learn, and participate more fully in daily life.

ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement and structured teaching to help children build skills over time — all while respecting each child as an individual.

Who Can Benefit From ABA?

ABA therapy is often recommended for children who may need support with:

Communication and language
Social interaction and play skills
Daily living and self-help skills
Emotional regulation
Reducing challenging behaviors that interfere with learning

Each child’s program is personalized based on their unique needs and strengths.

What Does ABA Therapy Look Like?

ABA therapy can look different for every child. Sessions may include:

Play-based learning
Structured skill teaching
Natural environment teaching
Practice with daily routines

Our therapists work one-on-one with children while closely tracking progress through data collection. Programs are adjusted as your child grows and develops.

What Happens First?

Getting started typically includes:

Initial Intake – We learn about your child and family
Insurance & Authorization Support – We help guide you through this process
Comprehensive Assessment – Conducted by a BCBA
Individualized Treatment Plan – Based on your child’s needs
Therapy Begins – With ongoing supervision and support

We explain each step along the way and are always available to answer questions.

What Is Your Role as a Parent or Caregiver?

You are an essential part of your child’s progress. We partner closely with families by:

Sharing progress updates
Offering parent training and guidance
Supporting skill use at home and in the community

Your insight, feedback, and involvement matter.
