At Center for Learning and Autism Support Services, Inc. (CLASS), we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy when it comes to helping children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior, and it uses principles to help individuals learn communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. The ultimate goal of ABA therapy is to help individuals develop skills that promote independence, while reducing harmful behaviors. Our experienced team of professionals is here to guide you through every step of the ABA therapy process. So if you’re looking to learn more about ABA therapy and how it can help your loved one, look no further than CLASS.

At the Center for Learning and Autism Support Services, Inc. (CLASS) Hawaii, we understand that deciding whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the right choice for your child is a big decision to make. ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. It is important to note that there are ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, and that is not the goal of high quality ABA therapy. The goal of ABA therapy is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic” or change who they are, but rather to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you decide if ABA is the right choice for your child, CLASS Hawaii has compiled a comprehensive guide to starting and ending ABA therapy.

The Center for Learning and Autism Support Services, Inc. (CLASS) in Hawaii, is dedicated to helping families access ABA therapy for children with autism. ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance when a child has an autism diagnosis, though you should always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage. Our guide to ABA therapy covers all the details you need to know about the cost of ABA therapy and more.
