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.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
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.

At Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) in Kalamazoo, we understand how important it is to make the right decision for your family when it comes to applied behavior analysis (ABA). We strive to provide high quality ABA therapy with the goal of helping people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. We do not look to “cure” autism, nor do we seek to “fix” children or make them appear “less autistic”. Our guide to starting and ending ABA therapy can help you make the most informed decision.
At Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) in Kalamazoo, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a major concern for families. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. However, it’s important to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. For this reason, we have created a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy, so you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Visit our website today to learn more about the cost of ABA therapy and the benefits it can provide.
