As a parent, you want your child to feel secure, express what they need, and move through daily life with more confidence. We know that supporting a child with autism can bring challenges that others may not see, and you don’t have to take them on by yourself.
ABA therapy provides steady, structured guidance that helps children develop new skills in a way that feels supportive and manageable. Whether the focus is communication, social connection, or everyday independence, we shape therapy around your child’s strengths, needs, and comfort level.
While we do not currently operate a therapy center in SeaTac, we invite families to access our nearby Des Moines or Auburn locations, each designed to support skill development in a warm, structured environment tailored to your child’s needs.
Each child is paired with a dedicated, highly trained behavior technician who follows a personalized therapy plan developed by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Center-based therapy provides safe, supervised opportunities for your child to interact with peers, take turns, practice cooperation, and build friendships—all critical components of social-emotional development.
For younger children, our structured settings are ideal for preparing them for the classroom by focusing on sitting, following instructions, transitioning between activities, and engaging in group routines.
From sensory-friendly rooms to consistent routines, we carefully design our spaces to promote comfort, confidence, and learning for every 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.
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.
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:
By aligning goals and sharing insights across disciplines, we can deliver better outcomes and a more consistent experience for your child.
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
