ABA Therapy & Autism Evaluations
Applied Behavior Analysis is the gold standard for autism treatment. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design individualized programs that reduce challenging behaviors, build communication, and develop the skills children need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
Will insurance cover ABA therapy for my child?
Kredo Health participates with a variety of insurance plans including United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Oscar for ABA therapy. Coverage and benefits vary by individual policy. Families should contact their insurance carrier directly to confirm their specific benefits, authorization requirements, and financial responsibility.
What we treat
Our ABA program is designed for children with autism and other behavioral challenges. We focus on building meaningful skills that improve quality of life for the whole family.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) treatment
- Reducing challenging behaviors
- Building communication and language skills
- Social skills development
- Daily living and adaptive skills
- School readiness and academic skills
- Parent training and family support
- Autism evaluations and diagnostic support
Our approach
Every ABA program begins with a comprehensive assessment by a BCBA. We evaluate your child's current skills, identify areas of need, and develop a detailed treatment plan with measurable goals.
We use naturalistic teaching strategies that make learning feel like play. Sessions are engaging, positive, and focused on building real-world skills that generalize across settings.
Parent training is integral to our ABA program. We teach families the strategies their child's BCBA uses so that learning continues at home, at school, and in the community.

What is ABA therapy and how does it work?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is the most researched and recommended treatment for autism. It works by breaking skills into small, teachable steps and using positive reinforcement to build new behaviors. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs your child's program and supervises every session. Goals are individualized — communication, daily living skills, reducing challenging behaviors, social skills — whatever your child needs most.
What are the signs of autism in young children?
Early signs of autism can include: limited eye contact, not responding to their name by 12 months, no babbling by 12 months, no words by 16 months, loss of previously acquired language or social skills, repetitive movements (hand-flapping, rocking), intense focus on specific objects, difficulty with transitions or changes in routine, and limited interest in other children. If you're noticing these signs, an evaluation is the right next step.
Is ABA therapy only for children with autism?
ABA is most commonly associated with autism, but it's effective for any child who needs support with behavior, communication, social skills, or daily living skills — including children with ADHD, developmental delays, anxiety, and other behavioral challenges. The principles of ABA apply broadly to how children learn.
What causes frequent meltdowns in children?
Meltdowns are usually a sign that a child's nervous system is overwhelmed — not a behavior problem. Common triggers include sensory overload, difficulty communicating needs, unexpected changes in routine, or frustration from unmet expectations. ABA therapy helps identify the specific triggers for your child's meltdowns and teaches both the child and family strategies to prevent and manage them.
How many hours of ABA therapy does my child need?
Recommended intensity varies by age, diagnosis, and goals. Research supports 20–40 hours per week for children with significant needs, but many children benefit from less intensive programs. Our BCBAs conduct a comprehensive assessment and recommend an individualized schedule. We work with families to find what's realistic and effective.
How do I get my child evaluated for autism?
Start by contacting Kredo Health to request an evaluation. Our team will gather background information, conduct standardized assessments, and observe your child across settings. We'll share our findings with you in a clear, jargon-free report and walk you through next steps — whether that's ABA therapy, other services, or both.
Do you offer educational tutoring or IEP support?
Yes. Kredo Health offers educational tutoring for children with learning differences and IEP assistance to help families navigate the special education system. These services work alongside ABA therapy to support your child's success at school and at home.
Why families choose Kredo Health
We're more than a therapy clinic. We're your partner — from the first phone call through every milestone your child reaches.
Every specialist your child needs, in one place
Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA — all under one roof. No juggling appointments across three different clinics. No gaps in communication between providers. Just one team, focused on your child.
Your child's therapists actually talk to each other
When your child receives more than one service at Kredo Health, their therapists coordinate on shared goals and share what they're seeing. That means every session builds on the last — not in a silo.
You're part of the team, not just a bystander
We teach you the strategies your child's therapist uses so progress doesn't stop when the session ends. Parent involvement isn't optional here — it's built into how we work.
We believe in starting early
The earlier a child gets support, the more the brain can adapt and grow. We take early concerns seriously and work to get children into services quickly — because waiting rarely makes things easier.
Support that goes beyond the therapy room
We help families navigate insurance questions, school IEPs, referrals, and next steps. We're not just here for the session — we're here for the whole journey.
Your neighbors, not a national chain
We're a local clinic rooted in the West Orlando community — Windermere, Horizon West, Winter Garden, Clermont, and beyond. We know the schools, the pediatricians, and the families we serve.
