At Paso Del Norte Children’s Development Center, we understand the importance of making the right decision for your child. We want to help you better understand the concept of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in order to make an informed decision. ABA therapy is a tool that can be used to assist in the development of communication skills, the introduction of productive habits, and the reduction of harmful behaviors, but it is important to be aware that some providers may have a goal of “curing” autism. We believe in providing quality ABA therapy that does not seek to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Our goal is to empower people to learn all that they can so they can live to their fullest potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To learn more about ABA and make the best choice for your family, read our complete guide on starting and ending ABA therapy.

At Paso Del Norte Children’s Development Center, we understand that you may be concerned about the cost of ABA therapy for your child. While it is true that ABA therapy can be expensive, there is good news. ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively. To make sure that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network, we suggest you check with your specific insurance plan.
