ABA School Collaboration
One of the great things about applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is that it can be helpful and effective in any environment, including at home, school and the greater community. When your child applies the skills they learn in various settings, they have more opportunities to practice in different situations. At Arms Wide Open, we facilitate this so children can take on the world with better confidence and skills.

ABA Therapy During School Hours
When our board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) visit classes for American K-12 students, they can give children the one-on-one support and guidance they need to do their best in learning assignments, group collaboration and social-play scenarios. All the while, the therapist can observe and analyze triggers or challenges and determine how to address them moving forward.
Applying ABA therapy in schools also allows our team to work hand in hand with teachers and administrators, showing them valuable techniques to manage classroom behaviors in classes with children of varying need levels. This promotes a culture of acceptance that benefits children far into the future.
ABA in Schools: How It Works
Scheduling ABA therapy in school settings starts at home. Arms Wide Open has a proven strategy to help you get started as quickly as possible:
- Appointment scheduling: A member of our experienced intake staff sets up an appointment for your child's evaluation. They will also request information about the family's insurance plan so we can submit the approval paperwork as soon as possible.
- Insurance approval: We communicate directly with insurance companies to ensure we can provide thorough, accurate information regarding deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket costs.
- Evaluation: Once the administrative work is complete, we'll set up a meeting with your child and a BCBA who can assess them and determine the best way to address their unique challenges.
- Personalized care planning: As we develop a custom care plan for your child, we'll connect with their school to align goals and set up a system that will give the child access to the accommodations they need.
