Focused ABA Therapy in Nashville

At Wellspring Learning Centers, we provide focused ABA early intervention therapy for preschoolers in the Nashville, TN area. Through an in-center focused approach, our goal is to help children grow in the areas that matter most to them and their families. Our professional and compassionate staff are highly trained in evidence-based ABA therapy strategies to help your child in a variety of areas from communication and social interaction, to sharing and taking turns. Through parental collaboration and positive reinforcement, we strive to help your child achieve their goals and reach their maximum potential.

What is Focused ABA Therapy?

Focused ABA therapy is a specialized form of ABA that helps individuals with autism and related disorders develop a specific set of functional skills and behaviors. By targeting these specific areas of need, your child can work towards achieving meaningful and measurable progress. This form of therapy is highly individualized since your child only works on a small set of skills, and treatment plans are tailored to meet those unique needs. At our autism treatment centers, we offer focused ABA therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to supporting children with autism spectrum disorders.

Focused vs Comprehensive ABA Therapy

ABA therapy can be delivered in two different ways: focused and comprehensive. Focused ABA therapy is designed to address specific areas of need and work towards achieving measurable progress in those areas. This form of therapy is ideal for children who have specific, and sometimes acute, skill deficits or behaviors that need to be addressed.

In contrast, comprehensive ABA therapy involves a more intensive and holistic approach, where the therapy targets all areas of development and daily living skills. This type of therapy is more suited to children who require more comprehensive support across all areas of development. While both approaches are effective in treating autism and related disorders, the choice of therapy will depend on the individual needs of your child.

During your consultation and evaluation, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) will work closely with you to determine which approach is best suited for your child’s goals, including whether early intervention ABA therapy is appropriate to promote timely progress.

We recently visited Wellspring and met with both Eric and Gerardo. They were both welcoming and enthusiastic to meet with us. This new clinic was absolutely stunning and very well thought out for both function and therapeutic success. Each room serves a purpose and focuses on specific goals a learner might have in their programming. Their enrollment process and parent support is excellent. We are excited to be able to use Wellspring for therapeutic matching for our clients!

How Does Focused ABA Therapy Work?

Focused ABA therapy is a part-time program that takes place 10-25 hours each week. Similarly to comprehensive ABA therapy, our team uses evidence-based, positive reinforcement techniques to help develop target skills and behaviors. At Wellspring Learning Centers, our compassionate and experienced BCBAs and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) will break down the functional skills your child is learning into smaller, appropriate goals. These goals are continuously targeted through structure and consistent intervention to increase success.

As progress is made towards each goal, new goals are established in collaboration with parents, and the treatment continues to build upon previous successes. Through focused ABA therapy, including ABA therapy early intervention, children can grow in areas such as communication, social skills, and self-care. Focused ABA therapy can also help in reducing maladaptive autism behaviors like tantrums and aggression. Our staff provides ongoing support and guidance to both parents and children to help them develop the skills needed to achieve the child’s full potential. As a leading provider of ABA therapy in Nashville, TN, we are committed to offering personalized treatment plans that address your child’s unique needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Tennessee, insurance coverage for focused ABA therapy can vary depending on the individual insurance plan. However, many major insurance providers in Tennessee do offer coverage for ABA therapy. In fact, Tennessee has a state law, known as the Tennessee Autism Insurance Reform Act, requiring insurance companies to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which includes ABA therapy. At Wellspring Learning Centers, we work with families to navigate the insurance process and help them access the coverage they need for focused ABA therapy.

Individuals who would benefit from focused ABA plans include those who require treatment for a specific set of functional skills or have severe problem behaviors that need to be addressed as a priority.

At Wellspring Learning Centers we provide both comprehensive and focused ABA therapy programs. Each program is tailored to the individual needs of your child and ranges in intensity from 10 to 40 hours a week.

This means the amount of therapy and level of parent involvement varies as well.

Throughout the day and week, the goal is to create various teaching opportunities through play for your child so that therapists can prompt, shape and reinforce appropriate responses.

Parents will be required to attend bi-weekly family meetings and periodic training sessions to ensure generalization of skills learned during ABA sessions. These training sessions will also help you learn how to better support your child in their daily life.
