Yes. In Indiana, your child must have an autism diagnosis to receive ABA therapy services at Circle City ABA. If your child has not received a diagnosis yet, you will need to complete an autism evaluation before beginning services.

Once your child has an autism diagnosis, our admissions team can help you understand insurance coverage, required documentation, and the next steps for starting ABA therapy.

The number of ABA therapy hours your child needs depends on their individual strengths, needs, and treatment goals. After an initial assessment, our clinical team will recommend a therapy schedule appropriate for your child.

Treatment recommendations can change over time as your child develops new skills and their needs evolve.

Your child’s progress is measured through assessments, ongoing data collection, and observations from their therapy team. Their Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) regularly reviews this information to identify which skills are improving, where additional support may be needed, and when to adjust treatment goals.

Progress looks different for every child. Depending on your child’s goals, therapy may focus on communication, social skills, independence, daily living skills, school readiness, and other skills that support everyday life at home, at school, and in the community.

Your child’s BCBA will also share progress updates with your family so you can understand what your child is learning and how those skills are developing over time.

Play-based ABA therapy helps children practice important skills through activities they enjoy. At Circle City ABA, therapists use games, toys, movement, and everyday interactions to create learning opportunities.

For example, a child might practice taking turns during a game, requesting a favorite toy, or following directions during play. These activities help children build communication, social, and daily living skills in ways that connect to their interests and goals.

Our team adapts activities to each child’s abilities, preferences, and individualized treatment plan.

Your child’s Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will begin with an assessment to understand their strengths, needs, and areas where additional support may be helpful. We’ll also talk with you about your child’s daily routines, challenges, and the goals that matter most to your family.

Using this information, the BCBA creates an individualized treatment plan. Goals may focus on communication, social interaction, daily living skills, independence, and other skills that support your child’s everyday life.

Your child’s BCBA will review progress throughout treatment and work with your family to adjust goals as your child learns and grows.
