ABA Therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on teaching new skills and behaviors to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The term “Applied Behavior Analysis” refers to a collection of principles used to teach new abilities and modify behavior. For example, it can help children with ASD learn new things, improve their communication and social skills, and reduce challenging behaviors.
ABA Therapy focuses on the principles that explain how learning occurs and motivates children through interesting, positive, and natural chances. ABA Therapy is a systematic strategy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder that focuses on socially meaningful behaviors by breaking down a skill and reinforcing the accomplishment of each phase.
Although many children receiving ABA Therapy services have similar goals, each child has a unique program tailored to their specific requirements. For example, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst will design a curriculum for your child based on an evaluation that identifies areas of strength and opportunities.
When you bring your child to Mobile Therapy Centers of Tennessee for ABA Therapy, one of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts will conduct an evaluation. This will help identify areas of strength and need for your child. In addition, the Behavior Analyst will design a custom therapy program for your child based on this information.
During ABA treatment sessions, your child will work one-on-one with a qualified therapist. The therapist will work on goals specific to your child’s needs. Each session is tailored to the particular requirements of the child, and your family.
ABA has been proven to be an effective treatment for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities. ABA therapy can help:
Behavior Analysis approaches have been used and studied for decades. They’ve aided a wide range of learners in gaining new skills, from living a healthier lifestyle to learning a new language. Since the 1960s, therapists have utilized ABA to help children with Autism and other developmental issues.
When choosing an ABA provider, ensure they have a valid and current certification from the Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB). It is also important to review qualifications, location, etc. You are encouraged to ask questions to make sure you feel comfortable!
It’s also important to find a provider who is a good fit for your family. You’ll want to make sure that the provider is someone you feel comfortable communicating with and who is willing to work closely with you and your child.

There are a few ways to pay for ABA therapy. One way is to use your health insurance. Many insurance companies will cover some or all of the costs of ABA Therapy. For example, our team at Mobile Therapy Centers of Tennessee can help you navigate the insurance process and assist you in getting the coverage you need.
Most commercial insurance companies and all TennCare providers are in-network with MTC:
ILLINOIS: BCBS, Anthem, Tricare, United HealthCare, UMR, Magellan (ABA), Aetna, Meridian (ABA), Meritain, United Behavioral Health (ABA) & Cigna (ST/OT)
TENNESSEE: BCBS, Anthem, Tricare, United Healthcare, UMR, Aetna, TennCare Select, Blue Care TennCare, UHCCP Tenncare, Amerigroup & Cover Kids
Many employers require that ABA be initiated by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or someone with a comparable degree like a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). If you have out-of-pocket costs, you are welcome to inquire about sliding scale rates based on your income.
If you do not have insurance, MTC also offers a self-pay option. Keep in mind that most clinics can provide you with a price after learning more about the services you seek and the timeframe you need them.
