Founding Story

Little Teddy Bears ABA was born out of a passion to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and help them thrive in all areas of life. As a BCBA and LBA in New York, I have had the privilege of working with individuals who face unique challenges in communication, behavior, social skills, and daily living activities. Witnessing the progress that can be made with the right support, I was inspired to create a space where children aged 2 to 21 can receive personalized care tailored to their specific needs.

Our clinic is built on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the world, both in their personal lives and within their communities. We focus on behavioral support, social interaction, play skills, and daily living activities, knowing that these areas are essential for children with ASD to reach their full potential. Our goal is not only to address these skills but to nurture the overall well-being of each child, enabling them to actively engage with the world around them.

At Little Teddy Bears ABA, we understand that each child is unique, and so are their needs. That’s why our team of dedicated professionals is committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that promotes growth and confidence. We strive to empower families and ensure that every child we serve has the tools they need to live happy, fulfilling lives while becoming active members of society.

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.

If you’re not sure where to start, this article lists 6 types of housing to be on the lookout for. Your child’s school and other parents are great resources to find out about potential options. Local groups, like your area’s Arc chapter, autism society, or special needs groups on social media, are good places to find resources as well. For additional help, consider working with a social worker and/or case manager.
