DBS is an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company that provides services to children diagnosed with developmental disabilities, autism, Down’s syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and other behavioral diagnoses. Our services are based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, which is a scientifically validated approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by the environment. The services are provided in the natural environment at schools, homes, and community settings.
DBS was started in 2017 by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with the vision to provide high-quality ABA services to children with autism and developmental disabilities. After decades of working for various companies, I realized there was a need for quality ABA services, so our team focuses on providing quality programming, supervising, and training staff to practice ABA therapy. The company focuses on growing BCBA and providing quality services to our clients. We understand it’s a long road with lots of ups and downs for our families, but we want to take that journey with them and help their children reach their full abilities.
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.
“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.
