ABA Therapy Services in Ohio

Our Ohio autism services start with a free evaluation and continue with ABA therapy in the setting that best suits your child. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs and oversees every program.

Free Autism Evaluations

Get fast answers about your child’s development, with little to no wait for an evaluation. We offer autism evaluations across Ohio, at our centers or in your home. Evaluations are free with accepted insurance. Your child receives a screening, evaluation if needed, and a written report, with the option to begin ABA therapy with the same team.

Center-Based ABA Therapy

At On Target ABA centers, your child works one-on-one with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). In every session, kids practice skills like asking for what they want, following directions, taking turns, and joining in games with other kids. Our centers have little to no waitlists, so your child can get started sooner.

In-Home ABA Therapy

In-home ABA works on routines at home like mealtimes, getting dressed, bath time, and bedtime. Therapists can also help with goals like potty training and playing with siblings. Availability varies by area, so contact our team to check openings near you.

School-Based ABA Therapy

Our therapists can support your child in the classroom, helping them follow the teacher’s instructions, participate in lessons with their class, move between activities, and ask for help when they need it. We also work on social skills, like joining in at recess and making friends.

Daycare-Based ABA Therapy

For younger kids, we can provide ABA therapy at daycare so that they can work on skills with the other kids in their group as part of their regular day. That might mean sitting for circle time, sharing toys, telling teachers what they need, and handling transitions like cleanup and naptime.

FAQs About ABA Therapy in Ohio

These are the questions Ohio parents ask us most often about getting started. If you have more questions, reach out to our Ohio team or give us a call at 888-989-5011.

Yes, Medicaid can cover ABA therapy in Ohio for children with an autism diagnosis. On Target ABA accepts Ohio Medicaid, including Medicaid managed care plans such as Buckeye Health Plan and Molina. Coverage usually requires prior authorization, which our intake team takes care of for you.

Yes, insurance generally requires an autism diagnosis before ABA therapy can begin. If your child was diagnosed elsewhere and you don’t have the report on hand, you can sign a release of information, and we will request it directly from the provider who made the diagnosis. We also work with children who have other conditions ABA can help with, such as ADHD, Down syndrome, or apraxia. Reach out, and we’ll talk through your child’s needs and coverage.

Most children need at least 10 hours of ABA therapy per week, and younger children or those working toward bigger goals often need more. After the initial assessment, your child’s BCBA recommends a schedule based on their needs. Together, you’ll build a plan that fits your family’s routine, and your BCBA will adjust it as your child progresses.

No, ABA therapy today is play-based and built around each child’s interests. Some parents picture ABA the way it was practiced years ago, with long, repetitive drills at a desk, but the field has changed a lot since then. At On Target ABA, your child learns through play and movement, with their goals built into activities they already enjoy.

Children can benefit from ABA therapy at any age, but early intervention between ages 2 and 6 often leads to the biggest gains. These early years are when a child’s brain is most adaptable, so communication and play skills tend to develop faster. That said, school-age children also make meaningful progress with ABA.

Yes, your child can switch to On Target ABA from other ABA providers in Ohio. Many parents come to us when they aren’t seeing the progress they hoped for. Our team will verify your coverage, and your child’s new BCBA will complete a fresh assessment so the treatment plan reflects where your child is today.

You will be closely involved in your child’s ABA therapy from the start. Our team shares regular progress updates and offers parent check-ins and training, so you can reinforce the skills your child is learning at home.
