ABA is defined as using the principles and science of behavior theory to meaningfully improve skills with communication, social skills, adaptive living skills, etc. In order to receive ABA therapy, your child typically will have to have an additional evaluation from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) after receiving an Autism Diagnosis. The BCBA evaluation will determine the need for ABA therapy and what the therapy program should consist of, based on your child's unique needs. Most facilities do require a referral for this evaluation as well, but this could vary from clinic to clinic. Usually you can call the office and find out their referral methods.
