From Parents Who've Seen Real Progress
How ABA Training For Parents Works
-
Step: 01
We Identify What's Hardest for Your Family: Not textbook problems. Your actual daily struggles. What's making mornings impossible? What behavior keeps you up at night? We start with what matters most to you. -
Step: 02
We Practice During Real Moments: Your child has a meltdown during our session? Perfect. We handle it together, right then, so you see exactly how strategies work in real time—not just in theory on paper. -
Step: 03
You Take the Lead, We Coach: We guide from the sidelines while you handle situations. You build real confidence by doing, not just watching us demonstrate techniques you'll never remember later. -
Step: 04
We Troubleshoot Reality: Something didn't work the way we planned? We figure out why and adjust. This is about finding what actually works for your child and your family; not following a perfect script. -
Step: 05
You Gain Independence: Our goal isn't to keep you dependent on weekly coaching sessions. It's to make you confident enough that you don't need our constant support. That's how we measure real success.
Questions about autism evaluations?
Find answers here.
Do I need an autism diagnosis to get ABA therapy?
An autism diagnosis is required for insurance to cover ABA therapy services. This is why getting a clear, professional evaluation is the critical first step toward accessing the support your child needs. If you’d like to start ABA therapy before getting a diagnosis, get in touch to discuss private pay options.
How long does the virtual evaluation process take?
The complete evaluation consists of three virtual appointments that can typically be scheduled and completed within 2-3 weeks. This is significantly faster than traditional in-person evaluations, which often have waitlists of several months.
Will my insurance cover the autism evaluation?
Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover autism evaluations. As You Are will verify your benefits and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs before your first appointment, so there are no surprises.
How does a physician determine if it's autism?
Our physicians are specially trained in autism diagnosis and use gold-standard assessment tools like the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule). They observe specific behaviors, communication patterns, social interactions, and responses during structured activities. Combined with your detailed input about your child’s development and daily behaviors, these evidence-based methods provide an accurate diagnosis — whether conducted virtually or in person.
Is a virtual evaluation as accurate as an in-person one?
Yes. As You Are physicians use the same evidence-based assessment tools (like the ADOS-2 and M-CHAT) as in-person evaluations. Research shows virtual autism evaluations are just as reliable, with the added benefit of observing your child in their natural, comfortable home environment.
What happens after my child receives a diagnosis?
If your child is diagnosed with autism, As You Are will refer you directly back to Kennedy ABA. We’ll immediately begin the insurance authorization process and get your child started with therapy — no waiting, no searching for providers, just a clear path forward for your family.
