Advanced Behavior Analysis

Let’s clear this up: ABA isn’t babysitting.
Babysitting is keeping a kid alive until you get home.
ABA is helping them communicate, self-advocate, regulate, explore, problem-solve, and build real-life skills in ways that respect their neurotype.
It’s intentional, evidence-based, individualized, and rooted in connection, not compliance.

We’re not here to “watch your kid.”

We’re here to support who they’re becoming.

If you’ve ever had a pediatrician casually say, “They need 40 hours of ABA a week,” you’ve probably felt your soul leave your body for a second.

Here’s the truth: support should never be one-size-fits-all.
Some kids thrive with more structure. Some need way less. And ALL autistic kids deserve a childhood — play, downtime, silliness, dirt under their fingernails, the whole package.

At ABA Inc., we build plans around the actual child, not a number someone rattled off in a 15-minute appointment.

Because childhood isn’t optional. And neither is joy.

Parents, you are equal members of the IEP team. Not guests. Not observers. You have rights, and your voice matters.

Here’s what every parent should know:
✅ You can request an IEP meeting anytime — not just once a year.
✅ You can say no to a goal or ask for data before agreeing.
✅ You’re allowed to bring an advocate, BCBA, or anyone who supports your child.
✅ You have the right to request data-based changes (not just “we feel like it’s fine”).

Advocating isn’t about being difficult. It’s about being informed and persistent.
The squeaky wheel doesn’t just get the grease, it gets the services. 🧠
