Children finishing the school year strong
Your child made progress this year. Summer ABA keeps that momentum. Skills stay sharp. Confidence grows.
Children transitioning to new schools
A new school is coming. Summer is the perfect time to prepare. Build transition skills. Practice new routines. Start school confident instead of overwhelmed.
Children with behavior challenges
Unstructured time can trigger behavior escalation. Summer ABA gives structure and teaches skills to handle transitions and changes. Your child learns calm when things aren't predictable.
Newly diagnosed children
Just got the diagnosis? Summer is an incredible time to start. No school pressure. Your child has space to learn. You have time to understand ABA and get comfortable with strategies.
Siblings & families
Summer ABA isn't just about your child. We work with your whole family. Siblings get strategies too. Family dynamics improve. Summer feels calmer.
Here's why summer ABA is crucial
Research shows 40-50% of children with autism lose skills during extended breaks.
Summer ABA prevents that. It keeps momentum going, builds new skills in a calm environment, and gives your child the confidence to start school ahead, not behind. Plus? You get the support you need to make summer manageable.
(regression is real)
Without consistent support, progress from the school year can slip away. Summer ABA keeps momentum going—maintaining the skills they've learned and preventing regression that sets them back months.
Build new skills in a
calm environment
School is structured but hectic. Summer is different. Your child has time to breathe, to learn at their own pace, and to build skills in a lower-pressure environment. That calm space? It's where real growth happens.
confident
Summer without structure can feel chaotic for kids with autism. With ABA therapy, they get predictability, success experiences, and the confidence that comes from mastering new skills. By fall, they're ready for school—not behind.
You get support
(not just your child)
Summers are hard on parents. Two months of full-time parenting while working. Summer ABA gives you the support you need. Structure for your child. Strategies for you. Someone in your corner who understands what you're managing.
What summer ABA looks like
Summer ABA therapy is flexible, personalized, and built around your family’s actual summer.
Sessions on your schedule
Unlike school, summer therapy works with your life, not against it. We build a schedule that fits your work, your family plans, your vacations. Some families do intensive weeks. Others spread sessions throughout summer. You decide what works.
Real-life skill building
We're not drilling flashcards. Summer ABA happens in real moments—during transitions, playtime, family outings, routine changes. Your child learns skills where they actually use them.
Parent coaching built in
You're with your child way more than we are. So we teach you. Weekly check-ins. Real strategies for real situations. How to handle a meltdown. How to encourage independence. How to keep progress going when therapy isn't happening.
Smooth fall transition
By the time school starts again, your child isn't rusty. They're ready. Skills are solid. Confidence is there. The transition back is smoother because summer kept the momentum going.
Summer sounds overwhelming. Here are some truths.
Without structure and support, skills do slip. Summer ABA prevents that. Your child maintains progress and keeps building. Fall doesn’t mean starting over.
You’re not supposed to. Summer ABA gives you the support you need. Structured time for your child. Strategies for you. Real breathing room.
Boredom leads to behavior challenges. ABA gives them purpose, success experiences, and skill-building that keeps them engaged and confident. Downtime is still downtime—but they’re not lost in it.
The opposite happens. Summer, done right, accelerates progress. Your child has time to practice, build on skills, and develop confidence. By fall, they’re ahead, not behind.
We work with your insurance. Summer ABA is covered by most plans. And honestly? Preventing regression costs less than catching up in the fall.
Why families choose Achieve ABA
No waitlist.
Most providers make you wait months. We don't. In most cases we can start the process the same day or the next, so your child gets support while it matters, not a spot in a queue.
No diagnosis needed to start.
You don't need an autism diagnosis in hand. All it takes is a referral, and if you don't have one, we'll help you get it from your pediatrician. We make the first step easy on purpose.
We work with ages 2 to 21.
From toddlers just getting started to young adults preparing for independence, we meet your child wherever they are in their journey.
We take complex cases.
If other providers have told you your child's needs are too challenging, talk to us. Complex is what we're built for.
Parent training is included.
We coach you, not just your child, because progress sticks when the whole family is equipped. It's something many providers skip since Medicaid won't reimburse it, but we believe it matters too much to leave out.
