Schedule a ConsultWhat is ABA?
ABA therapy is the only evidence-based treatment for kids with autism that focuses on understanding behavior. Through positive reinforcement and data-driven programs, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) help children develop skills in communication, social interaction, and daily living. Each child responds differently to therapeutic techniques, which is why we customize our approach based on your child's unique needs and strengths. Our ABA behavioral therapist uses proven methods that build on your child's natural interests to create meaningful progress.

Behavior Therapy for Kids with Autism in Ohio
Behavior therapy for kids with autism spectrum disorder looks different for every child because every child with autism is unique! Our Columbus behavior technicians discover what motivates your child and how they learn best. Evidence-based ABA focuses on communication tools for some kids to replace challenging behaviors. For others, we address sensory sensitivities that trigger meltdowns or anxiety.
Behavior therapy isn't about forcing children to "act normal" - it's about giving them skills to handle a world that isn't always designed for their needs. As home-based therapy moves forward, children become happier and more confident because gaining skills to interact successfully feels good!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an ABA therapist cost?
The cost of behavioral therapy varies based on each child's needs and therapy intensity. Generally, therapy sessions range from $120-$150 per hour for a BCBA and $50-$80 per hour for therapy performed by an RBT under supervision. Most major insurance plans cover these services, significantly reducing out-of-pocket costs.
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?
Yes! In Ohio, insurance companies are required by law to cover applied behavior analysis for children with autism spectrum disorder. Most major medical insurance plans, including Medicaid, provide coverage for behavioral intervention services when deemed medically necessary.
What is the difference between a behavioral therapist and an ABA therapist?
An ABA therapist specifically uses Applied Behavior Analysis techniques backed by decades of research for autism treatment. General behavioral therapists might use various counseling approaches and work with many different conditions, while behavior analysts have specialized training in evidence-based methods focused on autism spectrum disorders.
Is ABA therapy good for speech delay?
Yes, behavioral intervention can be effective for children with speech delays, especially when the delay is associated with autism. Applied behavior analysis uses structured techniques to break down language skills into manageable steps, providing consistent reinforcement for communication attempts. Many children show significant improvements in both receptive and expressive language skills through therapeutic approaches.
