About Coastal Behavior Consulting - Chesapeake
Coastal Behavior Consulting is a local ABA therapy company that is dedicated to supporting children with social, communication, and behavior challenges to develop and master skills needed to be successful in their communities.
A clinic-based organization, we accept Tricare, Anthem, Optima, Medicaid (Anthem, Optima, and Molina) and Private Pay clients.
Founded in 2014 by Stefanie Griffey, Coastal Behavior Consulting began with the belief of delivering professional and effective services based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis.
Stefanie, a Norfolk native, left the local school system as an educator and administrator, after 15 years to impact families and children in a more meaningful way. Since then, we’ve created a community – growing and evolving our team while working collaboratively with families, schools and related agencies to provide positive interventions for children with autism and other developmental diagnoses. Because together, we belong.

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.
Even if a provider offers parent training, it may look different from one provider to another. For example, an in-home provider might conduct a parent training session directly following a therapy session with your child to help explain what they’ve been working on with your child. At larger organizations, you might have a support group of families who are dealing with similar issues.
