I have had many ABA providers throughout the years. This year the school district changed agencies again and I have to say that I am so happy they are in contract with Dragonfly. Zoe is amazing with my son and she also provides parent training and although the sessions started this summer it feels like she has been with our family for years. I would recommend Dragonfly without hesitation especially if you are looking for someone to bring out the very best in your child and incorporate the entire family

It can be daunting getting your bearings after your child is diagnosed with autism. Dragonfly ABA was a God send during the pandemic when we were forced to home school and our son who is autistic was struggling. Our BCBA Zoe and RBTs have helped us to understand the world of ABA. Our son loves his sessions and actually looks forward to seeing the therapists he has been making great strides. Would highly recommend their service

Dragonfly is a wonderful company to work for. The BCBAs give you a lot of support and the company actually cares about helping people. The other RBTs have also been super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend working at Dragonfly.

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.
Here are a few alternative options to consider:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It's useful for those dealing with social anxiety or difficulties. CBT addresses cognitive patterns and provides strategies to manage social challenges.
Group therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can practice social skills. They can feedback from peers and a therapist. It allows interaction with others who understand and learn from each other.
Play-based interventions: Play therapy or play-based interventions work well for younger children or those who learn through experiences. Play activities target specific social skills like turn-taking and problem-solving in a safe and engaging setting.
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.
