How do I get started with Action Behavior Centers?
Fill out this simple form, and we will call you to discuss your family’s needs. Next, we’ll schedule you and your child for a visit to our center. We can also schedule an ADOS-2 or other Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE), if necessary.

What is the M-CHAT-R?
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R) is a screening tool that parents can use to identify early signs of ASD in children ages 16 to 30 months old. It consists of questions parents answer about their child’s development. If a child receives a high-risk score, they should receive further evaluation by an autism specialist.
What is the CAST?
The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST) is a 39-item questionnaire for parents that focuses on behaviors and abilities that can indicate ASD. It can help identify children who may benefit from further evaluation and intervention.
What is applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy?
ABA therapy is a gold standard approach for helping children with autism learn and meet milestones. This evidence-based therapy method helps children reduce target behaviors through play, positive reinforcement, and other ABA techniques.
What is the ADOS-2 assessment?
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a leading diagnostic tool clinicians use to evaluate for possible ASD. During this natural, play-based assessment, our experts work with children to observe their communication, social skills, and behaviors.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
Most health insurance plans cover ABA therapy, and we are proud to be in-network with the largest health insurers in our service areas. At ABC, our insurance specialists handle the details, so you don’t have to.

Does ABA therapy work for autism?

However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for autism that uses positive reinforcement and play-based techniques to help children reduce target behaviors and learn new skills.
