Autism Learning Partners | Eugene

At Autism Learning Partners in Eugene, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. Many autistic children have difficulty with social communication and language, so even if they are verbal and say a lot of words, they may need to develop their communication skills. Speech therapy is a major part of early intervention for those on the autism spectrum and can help them become more independent and confident. If you’re not sure if your child needs speech therapy, our guide can help you make an informed decision. With our comprehensive guide, you’ll have all the information you need to know about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child. Contact Autism Learning Partners in Eugene today to learn more.

At Autism Learning Partners in Eugene, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. Our ABA therapy helps children and adults learn the communication, social, and daily living skills they need while addressing and reducing challenging behaviors. Our ultimate goal is to teach skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. If you’re looking to learn more about ABA, our guide is the perfect place to start.

At Autism Learning Partners in Eugene, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern. We are committed to helping families understand their insurance coverage and get the best care possible. Usually, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Insurance companies typically only authorize ABA services for autism since its benefits have been extensively researched. To make sure your child’s diagnosis is covered by your insurance plan and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network, always check with your specific insurance plan. We have also created a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy to help you better understand the costs and benefits associated with the therapy.
