Children living with autism experience a number of challenges during childhood, and they require specialized methods in order to improve their practical and social skills. There are a number of therapies available for autistic children, but applied behavior analysis, which is masterfully applied by Achievement Behavior Services (“ABS”) located in West Hempstead, Long Island can have a substantial impact on children living with autism.
ABA therapy takes a practical approach to therapy and provides children with autism the hands-on skills they need to be successful in their lives. Indeed, ABA therapy applies current understandings of how behavior works to real-life situations. The aim of this type of therapy is to increase those behaviors that are positive and decrease behaviors that are not advantageous to autistic children so that kids can be successful in practical situations throughout their lives. With sustained use of ABA therapy, children living with autism can increase their language and communication skills, decrease problem behaviors, and increase their attention, skills, focus, memory, and academics.
There are many reasons to choose ABA Therapy over other types of treatment for autism. Psychological therapy merely examines behavior and searches for established patterns as well as what factors in a child’s environment may be impacting them. ABA Therapy goes further, and not only looks for patterns, but it discovers what happens before and after an event to provide a holistic understanding about why a child acted a certain way in a given situation. This permits ABA therapists to work on strategies that can better help ensure that a child living with autism will not experience negative behaviors in the future.
ABS primarily provides this type of therapy to children living in Long Island, However, the company also provides ABA Therapy to children living throughout New York, New Jersey, and beyond through remote means. ABS is able to provide many of its services virtually. All of the therapists employed by ABS are trained professionals who are licensed in ABA Therapy. This helps ensure that they can competently and effectively provide treatment to children living with autism.
The onboarding process for clients is easy at ABS. First is the intake process, during which a consult occurs with a member of the ABS team so that ABS and the family can plan how best to proceed with therapy. During this time, insurance eligibility will be determined, which may require that the family complete paperwork to properly process insurance claims. ABS accepts a number of major insurance plans including United Healthcare, Aetna, and others. At this time, families may need to provide a proof of diagnosis before the therapy begins in earnest. The family may also need to present proof of a prescription for ABA Therapy services from a licensed professional. Afterwards, a child will be evaluated so that their skill level can be determined. Such assessments may be conducted in a home setting or with other arrangements to best suit a family’s needs. After all of these initial steps are completed, the child and therapist can begin the therapy process.
The therapists at ABS provide a variety of services to clients. This includes an initial consultation, in-home care, family training, parent training, social skills groups, and other competencies This array of services ensures that ABS can have an impact on the children it serves regardless of the particular issue the children may be experiencing.
All told, families caring for children living with autism have multiple treatment options. Nevertheless, ABA Therapy is a proven method that provides a number of benefits for children living with autism, and ABS is a company with passionate therapists who can effectively treat autistic kids.
What Makes Us Stand Out
ABS stands out as an industry leader among ABA Therapy providers, and families chose ABS over other companies for a variety of reasons. For one, ABS makes the onboarding process as quick and effortless as possible. This ensures that children can enter therapy as quickly as possible without any unnecessary impediments for receiving care. Moreover, ABS is owned and operated by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. As such, providing quality care is the top priority of the company and nothing can interfere with the professional judgment of the people running the business.
Perhaps the main reason why families choose ABS is because of the outstanding care offered by the company. Such services are provided by top-quality professionals who have years providing therapy to children with autism. Moreover, each of the professionals at ABS are passionate about treating children, and they treat each child as if they were their own. This passion underlies all of the work performed by professionals at ABS and makes the business truly outstanding.
Research over the last 40+ years has shown the efficacy of ABA Therapy for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I want to take the time to thank you guys for all your hard work. I know your job isn't easy but I want you to know that your hard work is paying off. My son is doing things he's never done before interested in potty believe it or not he grabs my hand and takes me to the bathroom so he can sit although he doesn't do anything but he takes me. He eats oranges and strawberries that was unheard of a few months ago he sometimes eats with a spoon even if it's for a few seconds that was unheard of he's more attentive omg the list goes on. I just wanted to take the time to say ty and I have the best therapist in the world.
