How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?

If your child is being treated for autism or developmental disabilities, chances are he or she can greatly benefit from ABA therapy. The decision to pursue it rests solely in your hands, and we invite you to contact Comprehensive to learn more and schedule an in-home assessment.

What can I expect to pay for ABA therapy?

Very little co-payment. Comprehensive is recognized by most insurance carriers offering either coverage or reimbursement. To learn more, please visit our Insurance section.

What is the process to sign up for ABA therapy?

It starts with one phone call to Comprehensive. The ideal method for developing a fitting program for your child is to have one of our board-certified BCBAs visit your family at home. Once we assess your child’s needs, we’ll guide you through therapy scheduling and administration. Click here to apply.

Where is CBS located?

How many hours a week do most children receive ABA services?

Based on research, Comprehensive implements 15-25 hours per week to effect a tangible difference in your child's progress and retention of critical skills. Thereafter, your child can easily apply the skills learned to other settings throughout the home and beyond.

Does Comprehensive provide ongoing child supervision?

Our BCBAs supervise while our highly skilled aides execute your child’s treatment plan. Parent involvement is also a conduit for greater success, which is why we create a collaborative environment of care.

WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR FLIGHT
BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT
DURING YOUR FLIGHT
AFTER YOUR FLIGHT

Traveling with your family can be an adventure, but travel can also be stressful. Follow this helpful checklist to reduce the stressors involved with flying.

WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR FLIGHT

If at all possible, book directly through the airline rather than a third-party website. When making a direct flight reservation, you can choose "special needs assistance" under the "additional assistance" option. On third-party websites, this option is not accessible.
Depending on your child's preferences, select a seat.
Fly out of smaller airports if at all possible because they will have fewer travelers and noise.
Avoid layovers by flying nonstop if at all possible.
Enrolling in TSA Precheck allows you to access shorter lineups without taking off your shoes or outerwear.

BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT

As soon as the flight is scheduled, show the date to your child if they use a calendar.
Make use of a social story (we made one for your convenience), https://www.georgiabehavior.com/resource/im-going-on-a-trip
Watch films about flying on YouTube, such as this one by the parent of an autistic child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6oBGKEdYxc - start at the 1:57 mark
Request further help from your BCBA in preparing your child for the flight.
Use this website to contact TSA Cares in advance to ask for assistance: https://www.tsa.gov/contact-center/form/cares - If you want accommodations, you must submit your request at least 72 hours in advance of the airport's security checkpoint.

DURING YOUR FLIGHT

You have the right to ask for further assistance while boarding, deplaning, and connecting flights.
Utilize visual aids
Don't wait until things start to go bad; use reinforcers constantly during the visit.
Save some reinforcers for the flight's later hours, especially if it's a long one.
Take photos that you can utilize for later social media posts.
