We Don't Believe in One-Size-Fits-All
Your child isn't every other child with autism. They have their own personality, triggers, and learning style. We build therapy around who your child actually is - not what some manual says they should be doing.
About Steady Strides ABA
Steady Wins the Race - Especially with Autism
Your child isn't a checklist to rush through - they're a kid who needs the right support at the right pace. At Steady Strides, our team becomes your strongest cheerleaders, helping your child reach new heights.
Why Our Experience Matters
You've heard every ABA parrot the same words, but here's how we differ, our RBTs and BCBAs don't just follow protocols. We see your child, understand your family's real struggles, and build solutions that actually work in your kitchen, not just on paper.
Accepting insurances
Steady Strides' Motto
Steady Commitment = Steady Progress
Collaboration
There isn't one person who has all the answers. This is all about the TEAM. We listen first. We depend on feedback from caregivers, educators, and service providers to help guide our work. Our common goal is to see your child succeed in every setting.
Individualization
Your child isn't every other child who also happens to have ASD. Your child is an individual, with unique strengths and unique challenges. That's why we tailor our therapy process to each client. Your child should never have to fit into a cookie-cutter approach.
Ambition
You're not okay with just coasting along on autopilot. Neither are we. And so, we are constantly evaluating the effectiveness of our therapeutic process. We never stop tweaking our game because nothing is more important to us than bringing out your child's potential.
What Our Clients Say About Our ABA Services
Where Steady Strides Therapy Shows Up
The progress that matters doesn't happen in therapy sessions - it happens when we're not there.
Morning Routine
Your child gets dressed without a battle. Brushes their teeth when asked. Eats breakfast sitting down instead of running around the kitchen.
In the Classroom
They raise their hand instead of shouting out. Follow the teacher's directions the first time. Sit through circle time without needing constant redirects.
In the Playground
They ask to join a game instead of watching from the sidelines. Take turns on the swings. Handle losing at tag without a meltdown.
At the Table
Family dinners happen without someone leaving in tears. They try new foods. Use utensils. Actually sit through the meal.
With Family
Your other kids want to play with them. Grandma can babysit without calling you in a panic. Holiday gatherings feel manageable instead of dreaded.
Bedtime
The two-hour bedtime routine becomes 30 minutes. They stay in their bed. You get your evenings back.
We know this might feel out of reach right now, but with the right team, we'll take the steps to get there together. Steadily.
Our ABA Therapy Approach
How Steady Strides Thinks About
Your Child's Progress
Progress Happens in Real Life, Not Just Therapy Sessions
The real test isn't therapy room behavior. It's whether your child can handle breakfast without a meltdown, make it through the grocery store, or play with siblings without constant intervention. That's why we train parents and coordinate with schools.
We Listen Before We Plan
When we first meet your child, you're the expert. You know the triggers, what calms them down, what they're capable of. We start by listening to you, then build a plan that fits your family's actual life.
If It's Not Working, We Change It
Progress stalled? We adjust. Different strategies, different therapist, different schedule - whatever it takes to get your child moving forward again.

ABA therapy works by breaking down skills into small, manageable steps and using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors. An ABA therapist assesses the individual's needs, creates a personalized treatment plan, and uses structured techniques to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors. Progress is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to ensure effective learning and improvement.
The cost of ABA therapy can vary widely based on factors such as the intensity of the therapy, the therapist's experience, and geographic location. Some insurance plans may cover part or all of the cost. Our team at Steady Strides ABA is available to help you navigate insurance coverage and answer any questions you may have.
