Frequently Asked Questions
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Using principles of ABA, children and adults can learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. The primary goal of ABA therapy is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
It's a big decision to make for your family! Applied behavior analysis (ABA) seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Watch out for ABA providers who look to "cure" autism.
High quality ABA therapy does exist where the goal is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. The goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Here's our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy.
ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively.
Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
Autistic adults, like all individuals, have diverse skills and interests. Here are six examples of popular jobs among autistic and neurodivergent adults:
Computer programming and IT: Many autistic adults have a natural aptitude for logical thinking and attention to detail, which can make them well-suited to careers in computer programming, software development, and other areas of IT.
Engineering: Roles in engineering also require logical thinking and attention to detail, as well as the ability to solve complex problems. Autistic individuals may find engineering particularly rewarding due to the opportunity to design and build structures or systems.
Science: Many autistic individuals have a fascination with science and may be particularly drawn to careers in fields such as biology, chemistry, or physics.
Art and design: Some autistic individuals have a keen eye for detail and a strong visual sense, which can make them well-suited to careers in art and design.
Writing and editing: Autistic individuals may have a strong attention to detail and the ability to focus intensely on a task for long periods, which can make them effective writers and editors.
Entrepreneurship: Some autistic individuals may be well-suited to entrepreneurship, as they may have a unique perspective on business and may be able to identify unmet needs in the marketplace.
It's important to note that these are just a few examples, and there are many other careers that may be well-suited to the strengths and preferences of autistic individuals. Ultimately, the best career for an autistic person will depend on their individual interests, skills, and abilities.
No, there are no jobs that autistic people should avoid. Autistic people, like neurotypical people, have a wide range of skills, interests, and abilities, and can excel in many different types of jobs.
However, some autistic people may find certain jobs more challenging than others, depending on their individual strengths and weaknesses. For example, jobs that require a lot of social interaction or have unpredictable schedules may be more difficult for some autistic individuals, while jobs that involve focused, detail-oriented work may be a better fit.
Ultimately, the best job for an autistic person will depend on their individual skills, interests, and needs, as well as the accommodations and support available in the workplace. It's important for employers to create inclusive and supportive work environments that allow all employees to thrive, including those with autism.
“Early Intervention” might be the provider’s way of describing services that they provide to babies or young children. However, it might also indicate that the provider is a vendor for your state’s publicly funded program. This means the services with this provider might be covered by your state!
The first step in accessing these free services from your state is to get an evaluation. The evaluation will help the state determine what services your child qualifies for, if any. You can find your state’s local EI program by clicking here.
When you contact your local center, say “I have concerns about my child’s development and I would like to have my child evaluated to find out if they are eligible for early intervention services.” They will ask screening questions and arrange for an evaluation, which is provided for free.
