What to Expect During ABA Therapy Sessions in Duluth

‍

Your journey begins with a comprehensive initial consultation and assessment, where our BCBA observes your child’s strengths and areas of need. This lays the groundwork for a personalized therapy plan. Sessions take place either in our center-based play rooms or in your home, depending on what works best for your family. Each session blends structured table-based learning with free play and peer interactions. Children typically start with 10–20 hours weekly, led by a Behavior Technician and overseen by a BCBA. We meet regularly with caregivers to review progress and update goals so you're always informed and engaged.

Insurance Coverage Explained: What’s Accepted and How We Support You

‍

EAS Duluth partners with major insurers across Georgia to make ABA therapy accessible. We assist families using Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Kaiser Permanente, as well as Georgia Medicaid and Peach State Health Plans. Our Intake team handles everything from benefit verification and pre-authorizations to claims tracking, reducing stress for your family. We guide you through typical coverage limits (like mandated hours and authorization cycles) and reapply proactively so service continues uninterrupted. If your insurer isn’t in-network, our team will still check eligibility and help you explore your options.

Tracking Your Child’s Growth: Visual Tools and Meaningful Milestones

‍

‍

At EAS Duluth, we believe progress should be clear, measurable, and meaningful, not just in reports, but in everyday moments. That’s why we use data-driven ABA methods to monitor how your child responds to each new skill, from communication to social interaction.

Our therapists track goals daily, noting successes, challenges, and skill development. This information is shared with caregivers using easy-to-read visual charts, behavior graphs, and progress boards, so you can see real results over time. Whether it’s learning to make eye contact or following a routine, every small win is part of a larger journey and we make sure you’re part of it.

The Caregiver’s Role: Communication & Collaboration

‍

At EAS Duluth, caregivers are key partners. You’ll attend bi-weekly or monthly progress meetings with our BCBA to discuss your child’s goals, behavior trends, and session updates. We also provide parent education training, so you can confidently support learning during daily routines like mealtimes or school transitions. These small teachable moments reinforce therapy goals, whether it’s requesting needs with words or reducing tantrums. Open communication via messages or phone ensures any concerns are addressed quickly, creating true partnership between your family and our team.
