Behavior Analysis
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) for autism, ADHD, and behavioral skill-building.
What does a behavior analyst do?
Behavior analysts evaluate and treat behavioral concerns using applied behavior analysis (ABA), an approach grounded in measurable goals and structured skill-building. They work most commonly with children on the autism spectrum, but also with people who have ADHD, developmental delays, or other conditions that affect daily-living, communication, social, or learning skills. Most services run for several hours a week and combine in-home, in-school, and clinic-based sessions.
The team typically includes a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who designs the treatment plan and supervises care, plus a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), who delivers the day-to-day sessions under the BCBA's oversight. BCBAs hold a master's-level credential from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board; RBTs complete a 40-hour training plus competency and ethics requirements.
How to choose a behavior analyst
Three things matter when comparing providers: (1) the BCBA's experience with the specific concern (autism, ADHD, developmental delays, problem behavior, communication skills), (2) whether they accept your insurance, and (3) what their service-delivery model looks like (in-home, clinic-based, school-based, or a mix). Hours per week and family involvement vary significantly between providers; a good initial consultation will walk through both.
Insurance coverage for ABA has expanded in most states under autism-coverage laws, but the details — required diagnoses, age limits, prior-authorization rules, hours allowed — vary. Check the [Behavior Analyst Certification Board's directory](https://www.bacb.com/services/o.php?page=101135) for certification status, and confirm in-network status and authorization requirements with your insurer before starting.

Frequently asked
Does insurance cover ABA?
Most commercial plans now cover ABA for an autism diagnosis under state autism-coverage laws or under federal mental-health parity rules. Medicaid covers ABA in most states for children with an autism diagnosis through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment benefit. Coverage details (age limits, hours, required prior authorization, diagnosis requirements) vary by plan and state. Confirm with your insurer and ask the practice to verify benefits before starting.
What's the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is the master's-level clinician who evaluates, designs the treatment plan, and supervises care. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) completes a 40-hour training and works directly with the client to implement the BCBA's plan. Most ABA services involve both: regular RBT sessions plus periodic BCBA assessment and oversight.
How do I know if ABA is the right fit for my child?
ABA is one of several approaches for autism and related developmental concerns; what's right for any individual depends on the goals, the family's preferences, and the provider's approach. Many families ask the BCBA about session structure, the role of parent training, how progress is measured, and what reducing or ending services looks like before committing. A pediatrician, developmental-behavioral pediatrician, or psychologist can help think through whether ABA fits alongside (or instead of) other supports like speech therapy or occupational therapy.
