Supporting our Families with Accessing ABA Therapy Services

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is highly effective in helping individuals with an autism diagnosis learn new developmental skills and decrease challenging behaviors. Accessing therapy services early increases the acquisition of critical early developmental skills such as imitating, joint attention, and early language that are foundational to learning more complex developmental skills.

Finding a service provider can be challenging and sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin or what questions may be helpful when determining the right ABA provider for your family’s needs. 

Asking some of the questions below can help you determine if an ABA provider is a good match for your loved one.  

How long will it take to start therapy? 

Who will be my point of contact?

What does the first day of services look like?

How are the services scheduled?

At Trumpet Behavioral Health, we are dedicated and passionate about helping to support the best possible outcome of therapy services for your loved one. One of the ways we support your family is with our scheduling process. Consistency and structure are critical to maximizing the benefit of autism therapy services. At Trumpet, we schedule therapy within our Early Learner and After School Programs, ensuring your loved one is able to consistently access services that are matched to their clinical needs, with peers working on similar goals to create a natural learning environment that is progressive to match the changing needs of your loved one. Our programs are also scheduled at the same time every day to create a consistent routine, minimize team member cancellations, and make it easier to plan other activities.

Sometimes unexpected life changes happen like moving to a new home, changing a job, or splitting services between two households. In these circumstances, we work with you and your clinician to update your loved one’s ABA therapy schedule with as little disruption as possible. We are here to help and want it to feel that way! At Trumpet, we take the messy, frustrating parts out of accessing autism therapy services so you can have time and energy for the most important things in life like making memories with your loved ones. 

If you have any questions or are interested in services at Trumpet please give us a call or schedule an appointment today!
