What is ABA?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It's defined as "the science in which procedures derived from the principles of behavior are systematically applied to improve socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree and to demonstrate experimentally that the procedures employed were responsible for the improvement in behavior" (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2020).
What is ABA used for?
In short, ABA can be applied to almost any behavior that is observable. It's a science utilized to enhance socially significant behaviors such as language, communication, social skills, academics, daily living skills, fine and gross-motor skills, and more.
How Can I Pay For Treatment?
There are several payment options available for accessing ABA services:
(a) Private Pay: This option allows clients to access behavior support at any time and choose the BCBA that best fits their needs. It offers flexibility to customize therapy without limitations or restrictions imposed by insurance or regional centers.
(b) Insurance: Families can explore coverage options with their private insurance provider to determine the extent of ABA services covered, including copays and other coverage details.
(c) Medi-Cal: Individuals with a qualifying autism diagnosis may be eligible for coverage through the state's Medi-Cal program.
