WellSpan Philhaven Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities

At WellSpan Philhaven Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, we provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to help children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. ABA therapy utilizes the principles of learning and behavior to address challenging behaviors and teach helpful skills that promote independence. Our guide to ABA therapy has everything you need to know about this evidence-based therapy, from its principles to its potential benefits. With our ABA therapy services, we strive to help individuals reach their full potential.

When it comes to deciding if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is right for your child, it’s a big decision for you and your family. At WellSpan Philhaven Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, we understand the complexities of this decision and are here to provide guidance and support. ABA therapy has been shown to help improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, but watch out for ABA providers who look to “cure” autism. Instead, look for ABA therapy that seeks to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve created a complete guide to ABA therapy, so you can start and end the process with confidence.

At WellSpan Philhaven Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, we understand that ABA therapy can be expensive and often isn’t covered by insurance. However, if you have an autism diagnosis, insurance typically covers the cost of ABA services. It’s important to check with your insurance plan to make sure they cover ABA therapy and that the provider you plan to use is in-network. To help you understand the cost of ABA therapy, we’ve created a guide that covers everything you need to know.
