Frequently asked questions

We're happy to answer any of your questions!

What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy, also known as Applied Behavior Analysis, is a behavioral therapy for children diagnosed with autism. It was created to help children on the autism spectrum grow, improve skills, learn, and thrive.
How does ABA therapy work?
A BCBA assesses your child, writes a treatment plan with goals you agree on, and an RBT delivers sessions at home or in our clinic. The BCBA reviews progress data and updates the plan as your child learns new skills.
What does ABA stand for?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, a scientifically proven, evidence-based approach to understanding and improving behavior.
What age groups does A New Start ABA serve?
We serve children from early intervention age (as young as 18 months) through adolescence, typically up to age 18.
Where does A New Start ABA provide ABA therapy in Iowa?
We provide in-home and in-clinic ABA therapy in Muscatine and nearby Iowa communities, including Wilton, Durant, Stockton, Walcott, Blue Grass, Moscow, Atalissa, Buffalo and West Liberty.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy in Iowa?
Many Iowa health plans and Iowa Medicaid plans cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis. Our team checks your benefits during your first call so you know your coverage before therapy starts.
Does my child need an autism diagnosis to start ABA therapy?
Most insurance plans require an autism diagnosis from a qualified provider before ABA therapy is approved. If you are still waiting on a diagnosis, call us and we can explain the next steps.
What is the difference between in-home and in-clinic ABA therapy?
In-home ABA therapy builds skills in your child's daily routine at home. In-clinic ABA therapy gives a structured setting with chances to practice social and group skills. Your BCBA helps you choose the setting that fits your child.
How many hours of ABA therapy will my child need?
Hours depend on your child's needs, goals and assessment results. Your BCBA recommends a schedule in the treatment plan and reviews it as your child makes progress.
