ABA Therapy in Schools for Children with ASD

Legal Requirements: Under IDEA, schools must ensure that students with ASD have access to services that are designed to address their unique learning needs as described in the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). ABA therapy under the supervision of an experienced BCBA is one of the best-supported methods for achieving children’s learning goals. ABA services can help improve skills in areas such as communication, social interactions, self-regulation, and academics. These services are tailored to each student’s needs and are designed to promote positive behavior and reduce challenges that may interfere with learning.

Challenges Schools Face in Providing ABA Therapy

While schools are required to offer services like ABA therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), there are several challenges that make it difficult for them to provide these services in-house, including:

  • Limited Availability of Qualified Professionals: There is a shortage of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and trained ABA therapists, making it hard for schools to recruit and retain the right staff.
  • High Staffing Costs: Hiring full-time BCBAs and ABA therapists can be costly in a school setting.
  • Lack of Flexibility: Many schools may not have sufficient work for BCBAs or ABA Therapists to justify a full-time hire.
  • Time and Resource Constraints: The process of recruiting, hiring, and retaining qualified BCBAs and ABA Therapists can be time-consuming and divert attention from other essential educational priorities.

Why Contracting with Therapy Associates ABA Services Makes Sense

Given the challenges above, it often makes more sense for schools to contract with an experienced ABA provider rather than try to manage everything in-house:

  • Access to skilled ABA professionals: Established ABA providers specialize in delivering services to children with ASD. Therapy Associates ABA Services already employs dozens of experienced BCBAs and close to 200 ABA therapists who are trained to work effectively in school environments.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Contracting with Therapy Associates ABA Services can be more cost-effective than hiring and maintaining a full-time team of BCBAs and/or therapists. Schools can pay for the services they need without incurring the high overhead costs associated with recruitment, training, and retaining in-house staff.
  • Flexibility and Customization: Therapy Associates ABA Services can offer the specific ABA Services that your school needs. We can provide full ABA Services or BCBA-provided Assessment, Plan Development and Supervision for one or many students. Whether it’s individual therapy, small group interventions, or consultation with teachers, Therapy Associates ABA Services can customize an approach based on your school’s unique requirements.
