General Questions
What is ABA therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is an evidence-based treatment approach that focuses on understanding and improving behavior. Through positive reinforcement and data-driven strategies, our team helps children with autism develop critical skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Who provides ABA therapy at April ABA?
Our therapy is provided by a team of highly qualified professionals, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who design individualized treatment plans, and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who implement therapy under the supervision of BCBAs. All our staff undergo extensive training to ensure the highest quality of care.
What does the ABA therapy process look like?
The journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify your child's unique strengths, needs, and goals. Based on this assessment, our BCBAs create a personalized treatment plan. Therapy sessions are then conducted one-on-one with your child, focusing on skill development and behavior management. We regularly monitor progress and make data-driven adjustments to optimize outcomes.
What makes April ABA different?

Where does April ABA provide services?
We offer in-home ABA therapy across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Our teams are located in major metro areas as well as surrounding cities and towns, allowing us to bring therapy directly to your home for maximum convenience and comfort.
Who will be working directly with my child during ABA therapy sessions?
Your child will work directly with highly trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who implement the individualized treatment plans developed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Our RBTs undergo rigorous training and must pass a certification exam to ensure they have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide high-quality ABA therapy. BCBAs, who hold advanced degrees and have extensive experience in applied behavior analysis, assess your child's needs, create personalized treatment plans, and closely supervise the RBTs to ensure consistent and effective therapy tailored to your child's unique needs.
Insurance and Getting Started
Does health insurance cover ABA therapy?
Many health insurance plans provide coverage for ABA therapy, which is considered an evidence-based treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, coverage levels can vary depending on your specific plan and state regulations.
How can I check if ABA therapy is covered under my plan?
The best way to verify your coverage is to contact your insurance provider directly. Our team at April ABA can also assist you in understanding your specific policy details related to ABA benefits.
What if April ABA is out-of-network with my insurance?
If we are not in-network with your insurance provider, you may still be able to receive coverage for ABA therapy services. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, although these may involve higher out-of-pocket costs compared to in-network services. Our team can help you navigate your benefits and provide the necessary documentation for reimbursement.
Do I need a medical diagnosis for ABA to be covered?
In most cases, yes - you will need a documented medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder from a qualified healthcare professional for ABA therapy to be covered by insurance. Don't have an official diagnosis yet? Our compassionate team can guide you through the process of obtaining an evaluation and navigating next steps for beginning ABA therapy services. We're here to support your family from the very first step.
