At Journey ABA, we provide in-home ABA services for individuals ages 3 through 21 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), supporting clients with lower support needs (typically diagnosed as Level 1 or Level 2).
Our focus is on helping children, adolescents, and young adults develop functional skills that promote independence, communication, and daily living—while partnering with families to support generalization of skills across home and community settings.
Journey ABA delivers individualized, evidence-based ABA services to families across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with a focus on collaboration and compassionate care.

What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based treatment approach most commonly used to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ABA focuses on how learning and behavior are influenced by the environment, using positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to teach new skills and promote independence.
ABA therapy is data-driven and tailored to each person’s unique needs, with ongoing assessment to guide progress. ABA is used to support skill development in communication, social interaction, adaptive living, and community participation, helping individuals reach meaningful goals across daily life.
All services begin with an initial evaluation called a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). The FBA is conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to better understand the purpose of behaviors and the factors that may be influencing them. Through observation, caregiver input, and data collection, the BCBA identifies the function of behaviors in order to guide individualized treatment planning.
The FBA results guide the development of a treatment plan that uses evidence-based strategies to build new skills, strengthen positive behaviors, and reduce behaviors that may impact daily functioning.
In addition to the initial evaluation, the BCBA will review progress and conduct reassessments approximately every six months to ensure the treatment plan continues to meet the client’s needs. Direct ABA services are then provided by a trained Behavior Technician under the guidance and supervision of the BCBA. Treatment plans are submitted to insurance for approval prior to starting or continuing services.
What to Expect in ABA Therapy Sessions
During ABA therapy sessions, your child will participate in individualized activities designed to build functional skills, promote independence, and support positive behavior change. Sessions focus on helping each client meet their treatment goals while practicing new skills across natural routines and settings.
Services may be provided in-home or through telehealth, based on the client’s needs and insurance approval. Our goal is to create a positive, engaging experience for every client — while working closely with families to promote consistency and generalization of skills at home and in the community.
