We understand that navigating developmental challenges can be overwhelming for both the individual and their family. Our mission at ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them.
ABA therapy is a scientific, evidence-based approach focused on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. Our therapists work collaboratively with children to identify specific goals related to communication, social skills, behavior reduction, academic performance, and daily living skills. Through positive reinforcement and carefully designed interventions, we help children learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviors, fostering independence and improving overall quality of life.
At Here on the Spectrum, we believe in a holistic and individualized approach. Every child is unique, presenting with their own strengths, challenges, and learning styles. Our team of experienced and certified behavior analysts and therapists develops personalized treatment plans tailored to each child's specific needs, preferences, and family circumstances. We prioritize building strong rapport and trust with our clients, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where children feel safe to learn and grow.
We are committed to empowering families throughout the process. Parents and caregivers are integral members of the therapeutic team. We provide regular progress reports, parent training sessions, and resources to help you understand your child's progress and implement strategies effectively at home. Our goal is not just to teach skills in a therapy session, but to equip families with the tools they need for long-lasting success.
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or has been receiving support for years, Here on the Spectrum offers a dedicated space filled with expertise and empathy. We are here to walk alongside you, providing the specialized support needed to help your child reach their full potential and build a fulfilling life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how human behavior is affected by the environment. It involves analyzing behavior and its relationship to the environment to bring about changes in behavior. ABA therapy uses techniques like positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and reduce problematic ones, aiming to improve social, communication, and learning skills.
2. Who can benefit from ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is primarily used for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but its principles are also beneficial for those with other developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, or challenging behaviors. The therapy is highly individualized and can help children (and sometimes adults) develop essential life skills, improve communication, manage emotions, and enhance social interactions.
3. How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the individual's age, specific needs, goals, and progress. Some children may show substantial improvement within a few months, while others may require years of consistent therapy. Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted based on progress, and therapy intensity can be modified over time.
4. What does a typical ABA therapy session involve?
A typical session is tailored to the child's needs and goals. It might include discrete trial training (learning new skills), natural environment teaching (practicing skills in everyday settings), play-based instruction, verbal behavior training, or focused attention tasks (like working on receptive language). Therapists use data collection methods to track progress and refine interventions.
5. Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
Coverage for ABA therapy varies widely depending on the insurance provider, plan details, and the child's diagnosis. While some extended health benefits or private insurance plans may offer partial coverage, it is often not fully covered. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your plan's specifics. We also work with families to discuss financial options and ensure therapy is accessible.
