What is ABA?

The gold standard for helping children with autism thrive

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) helps children build language, social, and daily-living skills through patient, one-on-one, play-based teaching. At Kutamani, every child works with a caring team supervised by a qualified clinician, on a plan built around their unique strengths and needs.

Backed by the experts. ABA is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Surgeon General, and the National Academies of Sciences as a best practice for children with autism.

Questions Parents Ask Us Most

Answers to the things on your mind

Does insurance cover ABA therapy?+
In most cases, yes. Kutamani accepts many major plans, including Medical Assistance, CHIP, UPMC, and Community Behavioral Health, and we work with both in-network and out-of-network benefits. Our team handles the authorization process for you, and we can help you explore financial assistance or grant options if needed. Not sure about your plan? Call us at 844-537-7473 and we'll check.
What are some early signs of autism?+
Common signs include limited eye contact, delayed speech or language, not responding to their name, repetitive movements, difficulty with changes in routine, and trouble with social interaction. If you have any concerns about your child's development, it's always worth reaching out. Early support makes a real difference.
What can I expect at an assessment?+
One of our clinicians will spend time getting to know your child, observing their strengths and needs, and talking with you about your goals. From there, we build an individualized treatment plan tailored to your child. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to worry about, just come as you are.
What ages do you serve?+
We serve children, youth, and young adults from birth through age 21. Our ABA programs support children through the school years and into young adulthood.
Do you offer services at home, or only in a school?+
Both. We provide care in our schools, in your home, and out in the community, whichever setting best fits your child's needs and your family's schedule. Home-based sessions include flexible scheduling with evening and weekend options.
