Engage Behavioral Health | Riverview

Engage Behavioral Health | Riverview understands how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. Our complete guide can help you determine if your child is in need of speech therapy services, as well as explain the critical period in the brain for language development and the importance of teaching language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child is very verbal, but struggles with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language, speech therapy may be beneficial. At Engage Behavioral Health | Riverview, we can help you recognize if your child needs speech therapy and guide you through the process to ensure your child is getting the best care possible.

At Engage Behavioral Health in Riverview, we understand that deciding whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is right for your child is a big decision. We believe that ABA therapy should focus on positive communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. It is important to be aware that ABA is not intended to “cure” autism, or change who the child is. Our goal is to provide ABA therapy that helps the child reach their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To assist your family with this decision-making process, we have created a comprehensive guide to help you start and end ABA therapy. Contact us today to learn more.

At Engage Behavioral Health in Riverview, we understand that families need to know the cost of ABA therapy. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. Insurance will typically only authorize ABA services for autism since its benefits have been extensively researched. It’s important to check with your insurance plan to ensure that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis, and that the provider is in-network. To help you learn more, Engage Behavioral Health has developed a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy.
