Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of ABA therapy?

ABA therapy supports communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and independence. Sessions focus on meaningful goals for your child and family, such as expressing needs, taking turns, learning routines, and developing safer ways to cope with difficult situations.

Does my child need a diagnosis to receive services?

Diagnosis and referral requirements depend on the services and funding involved. Our team can help you understand the documentation needed for your child and guide you toward a diagnostic evaluation when appropriate. Children under three may qualify for early-intervention services without a diagnosis.

What is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)?

A BCBA is a professional certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and trained in Applied Behavior Analysis. BCBAs oversee ABA services and work closely with families to develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on each child’s needs.

What training do Behavior Technicians receive, and how often are they supervised?

Behavior Technicians complete training in foundational ABA principles, ethical standards, behavior intervention strategies, and safety procedures. A BCBA provides ongoing oversight, including direct observation, regular check-ins, and performance feedback. Our technicians also participate in monthly training and ongoing education.

Do I need to be present during therapy?

In-home therapy requires an adult over 18 to be present throughout the session. In the clinic, a caregiver does not need to remain for the entire session. Caregivers are part of the treatment team through parent training and communication with supervisors and BCBAs.

How long will my child need ABA therapy?

The duration depends on your child’s age, individual needs, goals, and response to treatment. ABA can involve a long-term commitment as children practice skills across people and settings. Your BCBA will discuss recommendations with you and review progress over time.

How many hours per week is the commitment?

The recommendation depends on your child’s assessment and individual treatment plan. Children in our direct ABA therapy program may be scheduled for 10–40 hours per week. Our team will discuss the proposed schedule and your family’s needs before services begin.

How can ABA help with harmful or destructive behaviors?

ABA assesses behaviors and the situations surrounding them, then teaches safer alternative responses and effective communication strategies. Your child’s BCBA develops individualized goals and support strategies with your family.

Do you accept insurance?

Our billing information currently lists Aetna, Cigna, Tricare and ChampVa. Coverage, authorizations, and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Contact us so we can help you understand the next steps for your coverage.

Does IAB offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement?

Yes. We offer superbills that you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your plan and is not guaranteed.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash and credit cards. Ask our team about scholarship funding, payment plans, and CareCredit options to help make services more accessible for your family.

What is your cancellation and attendance policy?

In-home services

Schedules are created with the guardian, BCBA, and technician to meet your child’s needs. Consistent attendance helps support progress. Please notify us at least 24 hours before a cancellation, except in emergencies. Frequent or unexcused cancellations, including more than 15% in a month, may affect progress, insurance coverage, or continued services.

In-school services

Schedules are coordinated with the school, guardian, and BCBA. Parents should inform the ABA team of absences in advance. Schools should notify us promptly when events, staffing changes, or other circumstances require adjustments. Frequent missed sessions may affect progress and compliance with insurance or educational requirements.
