Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services

At Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services, we understand that it can be hard to know if a child needs speech therapy. However, speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is key in early intervention for autistic children and is typically the starting place for kids who are recently diagnosed. With the right speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you notice that your child is struggling with speaking (e.g. very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all), our team of specialists at Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services is here to help. Check out our guide to give you an overview of everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is rooted in the science of learning and behavior, and it can help children and adults learn to improve communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while reducing and addressing challenging behaviors. Our comprehensive guide will provide you with all the information you need to know about ABA therapy and how it can help promote independence and improve your life.

At Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services, we understand the importance of making the best decision for your child. When considering whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the right option for your family, it is important to understand the potential benefits and risks associated with the therapy. ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it is important to be aware of providers who may use ABA to “cure” autism or attempt to change who a child is. Quality ABA therapy should not attempt to “fix” a child, but rather help them to reach their full potential while embracing their unique personality traits. Our guide to ABA therapy is here to help you start and end the process with confidence.

At Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services, we understand that understanding ABA therapy and its cost can be overwhelming. That’s why we strive to provide our clients with a comprehensive guide to understanding ABA therapy cost. Depending on your circumstances and diagnosis, ABA therapy may be covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is usually the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize ABA services for since its benefits have been well researched. Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. With Progressive Pediatric Therapy Services, we offer a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy and its cost.
