Our Services
At ABA Insight, we provide personalized therapy services designed for adolescents and tweens. Our structured approach includes comprehensive assessments, tailored treatment plans, and ongoing progress monitoring to help develop essential skills like social interaction and independence.
What We Provide
At ABA Insight, we provide ABA services tailored to school-age children and tweens with autism, offered either in our centers or in the community based on their unique needs. We conduct thorough assessments to recommend therapy plans that maximize benefits while minimizing risks. Every intervention strategy is carefully designed and collaboratively agreed upon with parents or guardians, ensuring your child receives the support they need to thrive.
Both comprehensive and focused ABA interventions are provided in all locations. In some locations, home and community-based services are provided. This is based on clinical capacity of the area, client need, and medical necessity. The duration of therapy is highly variable and individualized. Client progress is measured via ongoing supervision, with formal skill and adaptive behavior assessments every 3-6 months.
Comprehensive Intervention: services range from 21-40 hours per week.
-
Our Comprehensive ABA Services are designed for children who need support across many areas of daily life. This type of therapy typically includes 21–40 hours per week of direct one-on-one support and is most often recommended for young children or individuals with significant needs.
We focus on building a wide range of skills, including:Communication and language
Self-care and daily living skills
Social, play, and leisure skills
Learning and school readiness
Reducing challenging behaviors
Your child’s program will be completely individualized, based on a detailed assessment. As your child grows and learns, we adjust the plan to keep them progressing and help them reach meaningful goals. This service is intensive, but it’s also life-changing.
-
Focused ABA Services are best for those who need help with a smaller set of goals. These programs range from 12-20 hours per week and are ideal for addressing specific concerns like:
Barriers to independence and community access
Toilet training or sleep routines
Following instructions or staying on task
Building social, leisure or communication skills
Focused intervention allows us to zoom in on a few priority areas and make steady, measurable progress. We’ll work with you to decide what matters most and build a customized plan to support your child’s growth and independence.
-
We are equipped to provide face-to-face and remote, HIPPA compliant supervision and caregiver consultation. Direct intervention services (line therapy) are delivered face-to-face only.

Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Qualified Behavioral Health Professionals, and Behavior Technicians are all involved in the delivery of ABA therapy at Insight.

How Kids learn to build relationships
Learning to ask for wants and needs
Asking and requesting (Manding) is one of the first skills taught and is one of the first verbal repertoires that children acquire (Sundberg & Michael, 2001). Mands are divided into two subcategories: mands that access positive reinforcement (the good things) and mands that result in the avoidance or removal of aversive or nonpreferred stimuli. We teach children to request!
Learning to learn
This is a critical component in the first stages of learning. A child can learn that looking and listening carefully helps them understand their world better, leading to immediate and frequent rewards! This entails learning skills such as learning how to sit, remain on task, being responsive to instruction, learning to process and understand cause and effect. All of this prepares a child for the school environment!
Learning to play
Play is essential to learning because it helps children develop social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills. Play is the natural way to build language and helps children learn how to manage their emotions.
Learning to have fun and interact
Play is a fun and joyful activity that provides children with opportunities to learn about and master relationships, language, problem solving, and their bodies. Beyond learning the skills of play it is also important that children find it motivating to engage in play. We teach how to make these interactions rewarding and fun so that children are more likely to initiate play again in the future!
