Frequently Asked Questions
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that uses the science of learning and behavior to help children build meaningful, everyday skills. ABA is most commonly recommended for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but it also supports those with ADHD, OCD, developmental delays, and behavior challenges.
ABA focuses on:
Teaching new skills such as communication, social skills, play skills, and daily living routines
Reducing challenging behaviors by understanding why they happen
Using positive reinforcement to encourage helpful, independent behaviors
Breaking skills into small, achievable steps so children can learn at their own pace
Every ABA program is personalized to fit your child’s unique needs, strengths, and goals — no two programs are the same.
All treatment is designed and supervised by a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), ensuring high-quality care, ethical practices, and ongoing progress monitoring. Our goal is to help every child gain confidence, independence, and lifelong skills that support them at home, school, and in the community.
What are the goals of ABA therapy?
The goal of ABA therapy is to improve everyday life for the individual and their family. ABA helps people learn new skills, strengthen independence, and feel more confident navigating their world.
Through structured, personalized teaching, ABA focuses on:
Building meaningful skills (communication, social, daily living, school readiness)
Reducing challenging behaviors that may get in the way of learning
Teaching positive coping strategies to handle emotions and changes
Supporting independence at home, school, and in the community
Improving overall quality of life for the child and their family
ABA meets each person where they are and helps them grow — step by step, with guidance from trained professionals.
How do we conduct ABA therapy?
At C Positive ABA, we proudly provide in-home ABA therapy, bringing high-quality support directly to the environment where your child feels safest and most comfortable.
Why in-home therapy works so well:
Comfort & Reduced Stress: Children learn best in familiar spaces. Being at home helps them feel relaxed and ready to grow.
Real-Life Learning: Skills are practiced where your child actually eats, plays, communicates, and lives—making progress faster and more meaningful.
Better Generalization: Because therapy happens in the child’s natural environment, new skills transfer more easily into daily routines.
Family Involvement: Parents and caregivers become active partners in the treatment process, learning strategies that lead to long-term success.
Personalized Support: Every program is individually designed and overseen by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who ensures goals are meaningful, attainable, and aligned with your family’s needs.
At C Positive ABA, we meet your child where they are, and help them grow into where they can be—one step, one skill, and one positive moment at a time.
Who can benefit from ABA therapy?
ABA therapy can support individuals of all ages — children, teens, and adults — who need help learning new skills or reducing challenging behaviors.
ABA is most commonly used for individuals diagnosed with:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Developmental delays

How It Works (Simple Guide for New Families)
Getting started with ABA therapy is easier than you think — we take care of the hard parts so you don’t have to. Here’s what the process looks like:
1. Assessment
First, a BCBA completes an assessment to understand your child’s strengths, needs, and goals. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Insurance Approval
We handle submitting everything to your insurance provider. Once they approve the recommended hours, we’re ready to begin.
No insurance? Don’t worry — we’ll work with you to find a solution.
3. Planning With Your Family
We talk with you about scheduling:
which days work best
what times fit your routine
how sessions will look in your home
Your input matters — you’re part of the team.
4. Start In-Home ABA
A trained therapist comes to your home to begin meaningful, fun, and skill-building sessions. Your child learns in the comfort of their own environment, making progress feel natural and stress-free.
