Who we are

Northern Virginia Autism Therapy is a local ABA provider in Vienna, Virginia. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts and therapists help children build communication, social, and daily-living skills in a safe, encouraging environment.

We get to know each child as a whole person, what they love, what's hard for them, and what matters most to their family, and we build every plan around that. Parents are partners at every step.

What is autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, behaves, and interacts with others. It's a spectrum, so it looks different in every child. Common signs include differences in social communication, repetitive behaviors, and strong, focused interests, alongside unique strengths.

How ABA therapy helps

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that breaks big skills into small, achievable steps and uses positive reinforcement to make learning stick. It's recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and covered by most insurance plans in Virginia.

  • Communication
  • Social play
  • Daily routines
  • Self-care
  • Coping with change
  • School readiness

Frequently asked questions

At what age should ABA therapy start?

ABA can help children of many ages, and research shows it's especially effective when started early, often between ages 2 and 6. If you have concerns about your child's development, it's never too early to call us.

Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?

Yes, in most cases. Virginia Medicaid and most commercial plans cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis. See the insurance plans we accept, and we'll verify your benefits for free.

What qualifications do your therapists have?

Every program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). One-to-one sessions are delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), who are trained, certified, and supervised.

How long does ABA therapy take, and how often are sessions?

It depends on your child's needs. After the assessment, your BCBA will recommend weekly hours, commonly between 10 and 40, and we build a schedule that works for your family. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan changes as your child grows.
