Frequently Asked Questions

Home-based ABA has a variety of benefits, including individualized scheduling to meet your family's needs, providing full-family support and heavy parent involvement, flexibility to tailor programming to your child's specific goals, and the ability to work with your child in their comfort zone! ABA in the home also has the benefit to work directly within in the child's natural environment, allowing for teaching in the situations requiring support. 

Aster Rose will work with your health plan to verify your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses associated with your plan. Prior to enrolling, each family will receive and individualized estimate of cost based on the health plan they have chosen. Please note: these values are an estimate and exact costs may change at the time of service. It is your responsibility to understand the benefits and costs associated with your plan, but Aster Rose can help in answering questions. It is a good idea to be familiar with your maximum individual and family out-of-pocket costs and expect to meet those values over the course of a calendar year when your child is enrolled in ABA therapy.

No! Aster Rose will never require families to choose between therapy and school. Each setting offers unique benefits to developing children and the professionals at Aster Rose will never prioritize one environment over another. Aster Rose will work with parents to consider the risks and benefits of school and therapy and help families to determine the combination that will best support their children.  

Home-based programs require families to allow therapists into their homes on a regular basis. Depending on the specific goals of the family, this may range from a few hours once per week to several hours every day of the week. Sometimes, the foot traffic in and out of your home to accommodate the therapy can be an adjustment for family members. Sometimes a family may have goals for their child which require therapy during private moments, such as toileting, bathing, family mealtimes, or bedtime. Having a therapist in the home during these moments can feel awkward, or even invasive. It is important to work closely with your child's BCBA to clearly define treatment goals and boundaries to ensure that treatment is effective and families remain comfortable with the treatment plan and application.
