​

Q:  Is my child guaranteed 40 hours a week of therapy?

​

Q:  What role does the parent/caregiver partake in during this process?

A:  Yes, applied behavior analysis is an effective intervention for individuals with and without a diagnosis in order to overcome all kinds of social and behavioral challenges.
