What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis is an evidence-based approach that helps children build practical skills through individualized goals, positive reinforcement, teaching strategies, and ongoing progress measurement.
What should good ABA feel like for my child?
Good ABA should be respectful, motivating, and clear. Your child's plan should be individualized, caregivers should understand the goals, and progress should be tracked in a way that supports better decisions.
Is ABA therapy only for autism?
ABA is commonly used to support children with autism and related developmental needs. The right fit depends on clinical assessment, family priorities, and the child's goals.
Do you work with insurance?
Ocean Wave ABA can help families review benefits and understand the steps needed for authorization. Plans may describe ABA under autism services, behavioral health treatment, or behavior analysis benefits.
Where can therapy happen?
Services may happen in home, school, daycare, community, or parent coaching settings when clinically appropriate and available in the service area.
How long does it take to start?
Timelines vary based on service fit, assessment, staffing, insurance authorization, and scheduling. The intake form is the best first step.
Will I be involved in my child's therapy?
