Knowing what to expect from the process can help families feel more comfortable and prepared. The first step is usually an assessment. Goals often focus on skills that matter in everyday life. Families may choose center-based ABA therapy or home-based services depending on scheduling, learning needs, and what fits the household. This means recognizing and rewarding helpful behaviors so skills build over time.
