Introducing ABC Academy: Currently Enrolling!

ABC Academy is an innovative program designed for school-age children ages 5–12 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this program, children receive individualized applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy and instruction that can help promote their social and executive functioning skills. Our team of experienced ABA clinicians created this program to help children practice school readiness and prepare for the future.

ABC Academy is now accepting applications! With limited spots available, don’t miss the chance to enroll your child in this exciting program. Overseen by a team of licensed Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), ABC Academy supports children with autism who attend school part-time or full-time. Our compassionate professionals teach personalized ABA techniques to help children develop valuable skills that can complement their educational journey, including:

• Problem-solving

Steps to enroll in ABA therapy at ABC Academy

Enrolling your child in ABC Academy is a step toward a bright future. To qualify, your child must be 5–12 years old, have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, and have a clinical recommendation from their current ABC care team. Getting started is a straightforward process:

Clinical recommendation

You may enroll your child in ABC Academy directly. However, for children currently receiving ABA therapy at Action Behavior Centers, a transition to ABC Academy must be clinically recommended by their autism care team. This process involves careful collaboration with ABC Academy’s clinical team to ensure the best placement for your child’s continued growth and development.

Family consultation

At ABC Academy, we prioritize family collaboration. Before transitioning to ABC Academy, parents and caregivers must meet with our care team to discuss their child’s needs and discover if ABA therapy in this setting is the right fit.

Approval and agreement

Once approved, families will receive an ABC Academy Family Agreement outlining the terms of enrollment. This agreement ensures transparency and alignment on expectations and helps set the stage for a successful experience at ABC Academy.

Get started at ABC Academy

Our expert team is committed to making your child’s transition into ABC Academy as smooth as possible. We take extra care to ensure your child feels comfortable, supported, and welcome from day one.

For the best possible outcomes, families enrolling in ABC Academy must commit to following the clinically recommended weekly schedule. As long as ABA therapy remains appropriate for your child’s needs, a one-year commitment is required. This consistency provides the structure necessary to help your child make meaningful progress in the areas that matter most to your family.

Insurance coverage for autism therapy at ABC

For our existing Action Behavior families, your child's current insurance authorization with ABC will seamlessly transfer to ABC Academy. No additional paperwork should be necessary for insurance approvals. Clinical authorizations will be re-evaluated every six months to ensure ongoing support.
