About Sd Associates LLC - Williston
Service and support in pursuit of learning is our product and that product is delivered on a day-to-day basis by our dedicated behavioral instructors (BIs). At any one time, we employ approximately 60 BIs. All of our BIs must meet the performance criteria for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential* through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Many go on to obtain that credential. The constancy of our BIs’ service is made possible in a variety of ways by the support of our program support instructors (PSIs).
At SD Associates, we are committed to providing evidence-based services to support durable and generalized learning. For individuals with developmental disabilities, those services are applications of applied behavior analysis (ABA), the science of human behavior. In all of our endeavors, we consider the impact of developmental trauma on the lives of the children and youths we support. Upon acceptance of a referral, each client is assigned a licensed and board certified behavior analyst (LBA/BCBA) who conducts and oversees functional analyses of the behaviors of interest and any relevant repertoire assessments. S/he then designs the behavior support plans and teaching/learning procedures that arise from those assessments and supervises implementation.

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.
