When your child is diagnosed with autism, one of the first questions many families have is: What comes next? If you’re considering ABA therapy, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most trusted and effective therapies for children with autism. At Circle City ABA, we know that starting something new can feel overwhelming. That’s why we want to walk you through what to expect from ABA therapy in Omaha, step by step. We’re here to make it easier, more familiar and focused on your child’s unique needs.

A Welcoming, Play-Based Environment
When families first visit, many are surprised by how fun and engaging our centers feel. That’s intentional.
ABA therapy at Circle City ABA doesn’t look like a typical doctor’s office. We use play-based learning to help your child build new skills. Our therapists work with your child on communication, behavior, and independence, all through activities that feel like play.
It’s structured but also fun. Children feel safe, supported, and excited to come to the Center each day.
Personalized Goals for Every Child
No two children are the same, and their therapy shouldn’t be either.
When you begin ABA therapy in Omaha, your child will receive a customized treatment plan based on their strengths and needs. We work on real-life goals that matter to your family. That might include:
- Using more words or gestures
- Reducing problem behaviors like tantrums
- Following routines at home or in public
- Playing with peers
- Gaining independence in daily tasks
You’ll be part of the process every step of the way. Family involvement is key to your child’s progress.
What Progress Looks Like
ABA therapy builds skills over time. Some changes may happen quickly, while others take more patience.
Here’s what progress might look like:
- Fewer meltdowns during transitions
- Improved communication at home
- Better focus during tasks
- Learning to wait, share, or take turns
- Increased confidence in new places
Every small step is a win. We celebrate them all.
Support from a Team That Cares
At Circle City ABA, our team comprises Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Behavior Technicians, and staff who genuinely care.
We’re here to answer your questions, explain our approach, and celebrate your child’s progress with you. Our Omaha teams work closely with families to ensure that therapy goals are carried over into home, school, and everyday life.
Bryce Pauly, Center Operations Director at our Omaha South Center, shares:
“My staff motivates me to come to work. We have created such a great community that supports one another. We are able to do our jobs effectively and efficiently, but still have a friendly and fun atmosphere.”
