AUTISM SERVICES
In-school ABA Therapy
Now, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can smoothly integrate into your child’s everyday school life. ABA at school offers your child the chance to reap the benefits of ABA learning strategies not only at home but also in a school environment. At ABA Centers Tennessee, we’ve forged partnerships with diverse school districts in Brentwood, Hendersonville, Nashville, Madison, and others across the state. Our goal is to bolster the presence of ABA education within classrooms.
The deployment of ABA therapy in schools is entirely personalized and direct, incurring no extra cost to the institution. Through this classroom-based method, neurodiverse children receive tailored support from our Registered Behavioral Technicians (RBTs) and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). These professionals work hand-in-hand with your children and their teachers during class time.
Many kids with autism often need extra support to navigate the challenges of the school environment, like participating in teacher-led activities, managing transitions between recesses or classes, socializing, sharing, and waiting their turn. Our ABA professionals ensure that your child’s school experience is enriching, seamless, and collaborative.
ABA therapy is regarded as the gold standard in autism care. It equips children with empowering tools in critical areas like communication, social skills, and language, which are pivotal to academic success.

How Can I Get School-based ABA Therapy?

ABA therapy for students with autism has more than four decades of research and solid scientific support, making it a widely accepted option by most health insurers for autism care.
In addition, schools are required to comply with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees a free and appropriate public education for all those with developmental disorders, including autism
At ABA Centers of Tennessee, we handle the entire process of ABA therapy in the school setting, from negotiating with your health insurance to coordinating with the school to secure the support of one of our ABA professionals for your child.
