Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers | Phoenix Central

At Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers | Phoenix Central, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. There are a few signs that could indicate a need for speech therapy, such as difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing topics, and trouble understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, so if there are any delays, it’s important to start therapy as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, this may be an indication that they need speech therapy. To learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child, check out our comprehensive guide.

At Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers Phoenix Central, we understand the importance of making the right decision for your family. Our ABA therapy seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We prioritize quality care for our patients and understand that the goal of ABA therapy is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Rather, our goal is to help them learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you make the best decision for your family, we have created a comprehensive guide on starting and ending ABA therapy.

At Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers Phoenix Central, we understand that cost is an important factor when considering ABA therapy to support your child’s care. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. Insurance policies typically only authorize ABA services for an autism diagnosis as it is well researched and has proven benefits. To make sure ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network, please contact your insurance plan directly. For more information, our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy will provide you with everything you need to know.
