What may happen during a clinic session?
A session may combine play, focused skill practice, transitions, and daily routines. Communication opportunities can be woven into activities your child enjoys. Peer participation is considered when appropriate to the plan and available setting; a clinic appointment does not automatically mean group therapy.
Goals might include requesting a break, participating in play, or completing steps in a daily routine. The plan should explain what is being taught and how the team will know whether it is helping. Caregiver conversations connect clinic learning to everyday life.
Preparing for your first appointment
Confirm the appointment time, assigned clinician, and arrival instructions; Share current evaluations, communication supports, and your child’s preferences through the intake process; Ask about snacks, personal items, and any relevant medical or safety information the team needs; Review insurance and authorization requirements and attendance policies.
Clinic-based ABA FAQs
What are the clinic hours?
Hours and appointment options vary by location. See Schaumburg hours, contact Lombard about opening and appointments, or call Sugar Land for current hours. Confirm a visit with the local team.
How is clinic ABA different from home ABA?
Clinic care uses a dedicated therapy environment, while in-home ABA addresses goals within household routines. Neither setting is automatically right for every child; discuss the goals and practical considerations with your BCBA.
Can my child also receive speech or OT?
Ask your location team about speech therapy and occupational therapy availability, evaluation steps, and separate coverage requirements. These services are not automatically available at every location.
Do parents receive guidance?
Caregiver collaboration is part of our approach. Ask your clinician about meetings, treatment goals, and strategies that can be practiced appropriately outside sessions.
