When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.

Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.

How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

At ACES Irvine, we understand how important it is to recognize signs of speech therapy needs in children, especially those with autism. Our complete guide to speech therapy can help you figure out if your child needs help with communication skills, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. We believe that early intervention is key to helping children with autism build the language and communication skills they need to thrive, so we offer comprehensive speech therapy services to help them reach their full potential. With our experienced team of therapists and our comprehensive guide to speech therapy, you can be sure that your child will receive the help they need.
At ACES Irvine, our speech therapists are experts in helping children communicate effectively. Our team can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. We use a variety of methods, including gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to create personalized treatment plans to help your child reach their communication goals. Contact us today to learn more about how our speech therapy services can help your child.
At ACES Irvine, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which is a scientifically based therapy designed to help people of all ages learn and develop key communication, social, and daily living skills. Our goal is always to provide our clients with the skills they need to be more independent and reduce any harmful behaviors. If you’re looking to learn more about ABA therapy, ACES Irvine is here to provide you with the guidance and support you need. From our comprehensive ABA therapy guide to our experienced, certified staff, we have the resources to help you get the most out of your therapy experience.
At ACES Irvine, we understand the importance of making the right decision for your family. That’s why we’re here to provide guidance on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and help you determine if it’s the right fit for your child. Our comprehensive guide will help you understand the goals of ABA and ensure you don’t fall prey to providers who look to “cure” autism. With ABA, the goal is to help people learn all they can so they can live to their fullest potential and embrace their unique individual personality traits. If you’re considering ABA therapy for your child, make sure you consult with ACES Irvine to get the facts and make an informed decision.
At ACES Irvine, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a confusing and intimidating topic. We want to make sure that families are informed and aware of the cost of ABA services. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only condition that insurance will authorize ABA services for, as its benefits have been extensively researched. Be sure to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA therapy is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To help make the cost of ABA therapy more transparent, ACES Irvine has created a guide with everything you need to know.
Contact Phone number is (855) 223-7123.
