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.

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

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

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

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

At the Table

Family dinners happen without someone leaving in tears. They try new foods. Use utensils. Actually sit through the meal.

With Family

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

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

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.

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.

Steady Strides ABA FAQs

The Questions Every Parent Has

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interactions. The "spectrum" means symptoms and abilities can vary widely. Some people may need significant support, while others can live independently. Early diagnosis and interventions like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can greatly improve the quality of life for those with ASD.
There are various treatment options for autism, focusing on improving communication, social skills, and behavior.

These include:
  • Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): A widely used approach that helps improve social, communication, and learning skills through positive reinforcement.
  • Speech Therapy: Helps improve communication skills.
  • Occupational Therapy: Aims to develop daily living and motor skills.
  • Social Skills Training: Teaches individuals how to interact more effectively with others.
  • Medication: May be prescribed to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or hyperactivity.
Each treatment plan is personalized to meet the unique needs of the individual.
Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is a scientific approach to understanding and improving behavior. It focuses on teaching new skills and reducing unwanted behaviors through positive reinforcement and systematic interventions. ABA therapy is widely used to help individuals with autism develop communication, social, and learning skills, tailored to each person's unique needs.

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.
Many insurance plans do cover ABA therapy, especially since it is considered an evidence-based treatment for autism. Coverage can vary by provider and policy, so it's important to check with your insurance company for specific details. Our team at Steady Strides ABA is available to assist you with navigating your insurance coverage and ensuring you get the benefits you're entitled to.
