Providers

The diagnosis and referral process is extremely important to the success of ABA Therapy. We value our referring providers and wish to make the process easy and communication between offices positive and informational. Step Up ABA provides children with Autism positive reinforcement and structured, play-based instruction. Through therapy with BCBA and CBT Licensed Specialists, these children can gain the tools they need not only to succeed and generalize their skills to school, home, and social settings.

At Step Up ABA Therapy, we understand that Providers and Parents have difficulty navigating the journey of autism which can be filled with uncertainty, questions, and countless decisions. 

Our mission is to help children with autism thrive by providing evidence-based ABA therapy in a nurturing, structured environment that supports both skill-building and emotional development. Through personalized care and close collaboration with families, we work to unlock each child’s potential, one meaningful step at a time. Your referral is valued and customer service of high importance to our mission and team.

OUR APPROACH

Comprehensive Support That Grows with Your Child

Autism is not a one-time diagnosis; it’s a journey that evolves over time. That’s why our care evolves too. From toddlers to school-aged children, our ABA programs adapt to meet your child where they are developmentally and guide them toward their next goals.

We take time to understand your family’s specific concerns and challenges. Whether your child is struggling with transitions, finding it difficult to communicate, or showing signs of delayed development, our team will work with you to create a plan that is both comprehensive and compassionate.

Collaborating with Specialists for Holistic Care

Your child is more than a diagnosis, and supporting their development means understanding the whole picture. At Step Up ABA Therapy, we actively collaborate with a network of professionals to ensure that your child’s growth is supported in every area. We frequently partner with:

  • Pediatricians and developmental specialists
  • Speech-language pathologists
  • Occupational therapists
  • School-based professionals and IEP teams

By aligning goals and sharing insights across disciplines, we can deliver better outcomes and a more consistent experience for your child.

At Step Up ABA, we help address problem behavior in a variety of ways. First we work to teach underlying skills that may be leading to problem behaviors. For instance, if a child is struggling to communicate they may engage in problem behaviors to have their needs met. We believe the best approach is to teach alternative replacement behaviors first such as communication skills. Additionally, we may conduct a functional assessment of problem behavior that helps us identify the reason for the child’s maladaptive behavior. This helps us develop an intervention that can best meet your child’s needs.

Parents as Partners in Progress

We honor the trust you place in us, and we deeply value the partnership we form with every parent. ABA therapy is most effective when children experience consistency across all parts of their day, which is why your involvement is not only welcome. It’s essential.

From the very first consultation, we provide you with the tools, training, and support you need to reinforce what your child is learning in therapy. You’ll learn how to encourage positive communication, reduce frustration-based behaviors, support daily routines like dressing, hygiene, and play, and celebrate progress and promote independence
