Meet your child’s therapists

Our highly trained ABA therapists at Cottage Grove are dedicated to your child’s well-being and development. This includes Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®), who set therapy goals and supervise sessions, as well as Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) who implement the therapy.

Immediate access to care

Starting ABA therapy early can help your child build skills during an important time in their development. With centers close to home, your child can begin treatment right away.

Diagnostic support

You don’t have to wait months to learn more. If you’re noticing early signs of autism, our team can help your child get an autism evaluation in Minnesota.

Insurance made simple

We accept most major insurance plans in Minnesota. Our specialists walk you through the paperwork, and we can help with out-of-pocket costs through financial assistance.

Coordinated care

We work with your child’s speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapists so they can hold sessions right in our centers. Your child gets support in a familiar place, with fewer trips and fewer changes in setting.

Family Guidance

You’re an active part of your child’s care team. Twice a month, a BCBA leads a Family Guidance session with you. You’ll learn practical strategies you can use during therapy and in everyday routines at home.

School readiness support

In center-based ABA therapy, BCBAs and RBTs help your child practice skills used at school, like communication, social interaction, and executive function. For school-age children, ABC Academy builds on that work and helps connect what they learn in therapy to the classroom.

View all FAQs

Does ABA therapy work?

Yes! Decades of research show that applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an effective, evidence-based treatment for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies demonstrate that children who receive intensive ABA (typically 20–40 hours per week over two or more years) make significant progress in communication, social interaction, and daily living skills. Many are able to participate in school and community activities alongside their peers.

While every child responds differently, ABA therapy remains one of the most studied and proven approaches for supporting growth and development.

What are individualized goals in ABA therapy?

Every child’s applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment is personalized. BCBAs® assess each child’s strengths and needs, collaborate with families, and set measurable goals.

Examples of measurable goals include:

  • Increasing spoken requests for toys from five to 10 times a day
  • Initiating play with peers at least three times daily
  • Following handwashing steps in four out of five opportunities
  • Identifying 10 new household objects by name

How can ABA therapy help my child?

Every child’s journey is unique, and applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is personalized to meet your family’s priorities. At ABC, we focus on helping children diagnosed with autism build practical, everyday skills while supporting families along the way.

ABA therapy can help your child grow in:

  • Communication: Using words, gestures, or devices to express needs and connect with others
  • School readiness: Learning to imitate, follow routines, and build pre-academic skills
  • Behavior support: Finding safe, effective ways to meet needs while reducing unsafe behaviors like aggression, self-injury, or elopement
  • Social skills: Playing with peers, sharing, and taking turns
  • Self-care: Practicing routines like brushing teeth, washing hands, and cleaning up toys

ABC’s clinical research shows strong outcomes: 86% of families report major reductions in challenging behaviors within the first year of therapy, along with continued progress as goals evolve.

Is ABA therapy effective for autism?

Yes! Every autistic child is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, including ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
