Understanding ABA Services

What Applied Behavior Analysis Is

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that applies the science of how behavior and learning work to real, everyday situations. For children on the autism spectrum, it builds practical communication, social, and daily-living skills while reducing barriers to participation.

At Whitestone Health ABA, that science is delivered through an individualized approach. Every program is tailored to the child in front of us, and therapy happens where it's most effective so progress carries into daily life.

How ABA works

Understand

We observe what drives your child's behavior and learning.

Individualize

A BCBA builds a plan with clear, measurable goals.

Teach

Skills are practiced at home, school, and clinic.

Measure

Progress is tracked with data and continually adjusted.

Getting started

What to Expect When You Start

Starting ABA is a big step. Here's how the journey unfolds, from your first conversation to ongoing care.

1

Initial Consultation: Meet & Greet

A relaxed first meeting with a BCBA to learn your child's strengths, your family's goals, and to answer your questions. This is an introduction, not the formal assessment.

Formal Assessment & Individualized Plan

What we help with

Conditions We Support

ABA helps children build skills across a range of conditions and developmental needs. Filter by area to see how we can help.

Autism & Development

Autism Spectrum Disorder

A developmental difference that shapes how a child communicates, plays, and interacts. ABA builds practical communication, social, and daily-living skills, individualized to each child.

Communication & Social

Language Delay & Speech Disorders

Delays or differences in understanding or using language. ABA supports communication, both verbal and non-verbal, through individualized, naturalistic teaching and coordination with speech-language providers.

Communication & Social

Social Skills Development

Challenges reading cues, taking turns, or building friendships. ABA teaches and practices social skills in real settings so they carry into everyday life.

Behavioral & Emotional

Anxiety Disorders

Persistent worry or fear that interferes with daily life. ABA helps children build coping strategies, tolerate change, and self-regulate.

Genetic Conditions

Fragile X Syndrome

A genetic condition and common inherited cause of developmental differences. ABA builds communication, social, and daily-living skills tailored to each child.

Autism & Development

PDD-NOS

A presentation on the autism spectrum with a mix of social and communication differences that don't fit one category. ABA targets each child's specific goals.

Beyond a diagnosis

ABA isn't only for autism

The same science of behavior and learning can build life skills, independence, and even fitness and personal-training goals, an area Jill is especially passionate about, for children and adults with and without disabilities. Insurance coverage for ABA generally requires a formal autism diagnosis, but self-pay is available for broader goals.
