Our Small Client List Has Many Benefits
We believe that keeping a small client list has many benefits for parents and children with an autism diagnosis. Having fewer clients allows us to conduct comprehensive consultations, during which we’re able to take the time to fully understand your needs and concerns.
A board-certified behavioral analyst (BCBA) takes the detailed information obtained during your consultation to conduct equally comprehensive assessments in your home. The information obtained from these assessments will be used to create a detailed report and treatment plan for your child.
The BCBA can then devote more of their energy, time, and attention to your child. Ultimately, this translates to your child getting the highest-quality experience and one-to-one connection with their BCBA during every session.
Finally, our small client list ensures that no child ever has to be put on a waiting list for treatment.
An Experienced Team That Services and Supports the Whole Family
Our team of BCBAs are highly skilled professionals who continually update their skills. The benefits of continual training are passed along to your child, who receives the latest, most innovative, and most effective ABA therapy available.
In addition to treating your child, A Happy Family BCBAs also hold parent and caregiver training sessions. These sessions teach you instantly applicable skills so that you can continue your child’s special education between sessions.

How ABA Therapy Works?

Intake
This journey starts with a comprehensive consultation with one of our BCBA’s to discuss the primary areas of concern and how we can meet the needs of your family.

Insurance Verification
We will help you determine eligibility of services and help navigate you through the insurance process which will include filling out a Service Agreement.

Treatment Plan
Our BCBA and team will assess your child’s skills by administering assessments in the home setting. Once the assessment is finished, a report will be written and reviewed with you that includes the treatment plan that meets the needs of your child

Treatment
Once approved, you will start therapy that will focus on the areas of concern addressed in the initial report. A Behavior Interventionist will come to your home and provide individual support to your child.
