Our behavior modification Service fees

learn about Our ABA fees

A qualified and trained behavior analyst (BCBA) or Licensed Mental Health Clinician designs and directly oversees Applied Behavioral Analysis Behavior Modification programs. They customize the ABA program to each learner’s skills, needs, interests, preferences and family situation. We always start by doing a detailed assessment of each person’s skills and preferences.

Applied Behavioral Analysis is an evidence-based therapy. ABA therapy prevents or lessens the bad effects of behaviors that interfere with learning and social interaction.

The goals of ABA therapy may include:

Developing new behaviors,
Increasing or decreasing existing behaviors,
Bringing out behaviors resulting from specific settings,
Improving fine motor skill, hygiene, grooming, skills at home, punctuality, and job competence,
Increasing language and communication skills, and
Improving attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics.

Behavior Modification Service Hours are Determined by Assessments with a Re-Assessment every 6 months.

Call us if you have further questions.

Behavior Modification Assessment

Behavior modification assessments establish the individualized needs and evidence-based applications of learning techniques, such as conditioning, motivation, assertiveness training, positive or negative reinforcement, schedules, or functional communication, to change unwanted and improve desired behaviors of an individual or group behavior.

A technique, typically based on functional assessment, used to reinforce adaptive behaviors while diminishing or extinguishing maladaptive behaviors. Seven characteristics of behavior modification, identified by Martin and Pear (2007), include:

A strong emphasis on defining problems in terms of measurable behavior
Making environmental adjustments to improve functioning
Precise methods and rationales
Dynamic real-life application of techniques
Techniques grounded in learning and behavior theory
Scientific demonstration linking the imposed technique with behavior change
Strong emphasis on accountability

Common Questions

Does insurance cover my visits?

Insurance may cover your behavior modification services. Each plan varies. We will verify eligibility and policy benefits prior to starting services. This will be providing in writing and agreed to prior to beginning an assessment. We are out-of-network with most plans. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, those individualized plans may be eligible for reimbursement upon filing a super bill provided by your licensed clinician.
