Have Questions?

View our most frequently asked questions below

What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA for short, utilizes the principles of learning and behavior to increase important or valuable skills to improve an individual’s quality of life. By uniting parents, caregivers, and individuals, ABA therapy utilizes the functions of behavior, data, and reinforcement to systematically teach a variety of skills.
Why ABA therapy over other types of autism treatments?

With over 30 years of scientific data to support it, ABA is the only evidence-based practice endorsed by the Surgeon General for the treatment of autism.

What does in-home ABA therapy look like?
All programs are individualized based on family needs. Some programs are focused on social and community outings while others may focus on functional life skills within the home. Contact us today for a free consultation so we can help you create the best plan for your family.
How long are sessions?
Sessions will last a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours. Some clients may have more than 1 session per day.
My child is verbal. Does he/she still need ABA therapy?
Yes. ABA therapy is not just for nonverbal children. ABA is used to work on various behaviors, social skills, and functional life skills. Contact us today to identify how ABA therapy can help your family.
How can I get started with The Helm ABA as my provider?

Contact us at (469) 730-0925 or submit an intake form. Once we set up an assessment, we will write an individualized treatment plan and develop a schedule that meets your family’s needs.

What is my role as a parent in the ABA program?
We request parents participate in their child’s program as much as possible. This includes observing sessions, taking data on behaviors, and implementing goals we provide to the parents. Our ultimate goal is to work ourselves out of a job! By working together with parents and caregivers, we are able to transfer behavior techniques so they may be implemented by the parent long after we are gone.
What insurance do you accept?

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and HMO, Cigna, Magellan Health, and United Healthcare.

How can you help me navigate public school, ARDs and IEPs?

Collaboration with the school is vital, but can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s why we offer ARD meeting attendance and IEP reviews free of charge to all current clients. We are available to attend any school meetings and can help teach you how to become a better advocate for your child.

Not a current ABA client? No problem! We offer ARD advocacy for many kids throughout the local school districts. Contact us to learn more about our availability and rates for ARD advocacy.

What is your service area for in-home therapy?

We are happy to serve families up to 15-miles or 20-minutes (non-peak traffic time) from the nearest Helm ABA location.

Enroll Your Child Today

We have been a family blessed with the help of the team at The Helm. Our son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when he was 2.5 and The Helm was one of the places recommended by our developmental psychologist. I am a physician and still found it hard navigating this new medical problem and knowing what to do next. I called many places and from step one Lee Ann was the most helpful explaining the process with paperwork, assessment, available services, insurance, etc. we were able to start therapy quite soon after diagnosis and had sessions at home daily for 3 hours. The quality of staff, the system they have in place for the therapists, the coordination by the BCBA supervising therapist and early response put us at ease that we were on the right path. Ultimately the steady positive changes we saw with our son overcame any fears we had about autism holding our son back for the rest of his life.

We used many forms of intervention that we felt were individually tailored for our family – for potty training, anger management, dietary intervention and even let them know when we could not maintain something suggested in family training, and they would just take our request and implement another plan. Our son has now graduated/transitioned out of therapy and is currently in pre-K in a regular classroom with him on par with his class in academics, has friends and no behavior issues. Most important of all we have a happy son who loves to play with his big sister.

I know that I will always read all there is on autism and watch my son for any features. But I hope my review adds to positive aspects that I wish someone would have told me when I started the journey – start early, don’t put off your suspicions, get your child evaluated now! The label does not hinder,  in fact it falls to the side once you have the diagnosis to facilitate therapy. ABA intervention, especially done with the right people, makes a big difference. It does not pressure or upset the child at all, and you are not stuck in therapy for life! I know if any behavioral issues come up in the future I have The Helm, and they will help us and the outcome is going to be positive. Said with heartfelt thanks.
