What is Full-Time ABA Therapy?

Families exploring ABA therapy often ask what “full-time” means. Full-time ABA therapy refers to intensive daily sessions, typically ranging from 30 to 40 hours per week. This approach is designed to provide consistent, structured support that helps children with autism build communication, social, and life skills more effectively.

Unlike part-time or targeted programs, full-time ABA immerses the child in a learning environment where every activity, whether play, social interaction, or routine tasks, becomes an opportunity to practice and reinforce skills. The goal is to accelerate progress by maximizing teaching moments throughout the day.


Research shows that children who participate in full-time ABA often experience significant improvements in language, behavior management, and independence. While the intensity may seem overwhelming at first, therapy plans are always personalized to match the child’s needs, strengths, and family goals.


At Steady Strides ABA, we specialize in designing full-time ABA therapy programs in Texas that empower children to thrive.
