Adolescents & Tweens
Our Services
At ABA Insight, we provide personalized therapy services designed for adolescents and tweens. Our structured approach includes comprehensive assessments, tailored treatment plans, and ongoing progress monitoring to help develop essential skills like social interaction and independence.
What We Provide
At ABA Insight, we provide ABA services tailored to school-age children and tweens with autism, offered either in our centers or in the community based on their unique needs. We conduct thorough assessments to recommend therapy plans that maximize benefits while minimizing risks. Every intervention strategy is carefully designed and collaboratively agreed upon with parents or guardians, ensuring your child receives the support they need to thrive.
Both comprehensive and focused ABA interventions are provided in all locations. In some locations, home and community-based services are provided. This is based on clinical capacity of the area, client need, and medical necessity. The duration of therapy is highly variable and individualized. Client progress is measured via ongoing supervision, with formal skill and adaptive behavior assessments every 3-6 months. For Comprehensive Intervention, services range from 21-40 hours per week.
-
Our Comprehensive ABA Services are designed for children who need support across many areas of daily life. This type of therapy typically includes 21–40 hours per week of direct one-on-one support and is most often recommended for young children or individuals with significant needs.
We focus on building a wide range of skills, including:Communication and language
Self-care and daily living skills
Social, play, and leisure skills
Learning and school readiness
Reducing challenging behaviors
Your child’s program will be completely individualized, based on a detailed assessment. As your child grows and learns, we adjust the plan to keep them progressing and help them reach meaningful goals. This service is intensive, but it’s also life-changing.
-
Focused ABA Services are best for those who need help with a smaller set of goals. These programs range from 12-20 hours per week and are ideal for addressing specific concerns like:
Barriers to independence and community access
Toilet training or sleep routines
Following instructions or staying on task
Building social, leisure or communication skills
Focused intervention allows us to zoom in on a few priority areas and make steady, measurable progress. We’ll work with you to decide what matters most and build a customized plan to support your child’s growth and independence.
-
We are equipped to provide face-to-face and remote, HIPPA compliant supervision and caregiver consultation. Direct intervention services (line therapy) are delivered face-to-face only.
-
Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Qualified Behavioral Health Professionals, and Behavior Technicians are all involved in the delivery of ABA therapy at Insight.

How adolescents & tweens learn
Using communication to build relationships
Communication is very critical in relationships. We teach adolescence and tweens how to get to know others through conversations and question asking. Basically, getting to know one another creating a sustainable and meaningful relationship!
Learning perspective about others
and social skills
Maintaining healthy and sustainable relationships means that individuals need to “think about others” during interactions – Perspective Taking means understanding how ones’ behavior has an impact on others behavior and how they are treated in return.
Confidence building
Who am I? What are my interests? What makes me special? What makes me unique? Why do I matter? Do people like me? All the answers to these questions can determine the motivation of a person to engage and engage positively within an interaction. We teach confidence and self-advocacy to create healthy friendships and relationships!
Problem solving
In relationships and in life, we have to navigate problems that arise. Problem solving requires specific skills in order to assess the problem and identify solutions. This is an important skill for life-long success!
Our Values
Our approach is collaborative, empathetic, and inclusive. We use Applied Behavior Analysis in natural, supportive ways while our learners assent to the therapy process and enjoy their time with us. Everything we do is guided by four core values:
-
We care about our clients like family. We understand the uniqueness of each child and go above and beyond to give them the best therapeutic environment and care they deserve.
-
We teach caregivers strategies for managing behavior and teaching new skills specific to their child's learning style, resulting in less stress within the family unit.
-
Insight staff are resilient and committed to working as a team. We will be with you each step of the way to success.
-
We prioritize our clients by following the professional and ethical standards set by our accrediting and licensing organizations.
