What We Offer
Our Partners
Our Approach to Care
No matter which programs your family participates in, every part of our organization follows the same principles:
​
-
Children learn best in joyful, structured environments.
-
Families are essential partners.
-
Communication should always be honest, clear, and respectful.
-
Every treatment plan is individualized, and never one-size-fits-all.
-
We aim not just for progress, but for confidence, independence, and hope.
The heart of our clinical model.
Our center-based model gives children the structure, consistency, and community they need to thrive. Each day blends individualized one-on-one therapy with the opportunity for group learning, play, and real-world practice. Children work with caring therapists in bright classrooms, a lively gym, and creative play areas that are all designed to make therapy feel natural and fun. Families benefit from daily BCBA oversight, progress updates, and an environment that turns hard work into joy.
Our collaboration with ETC Phoenix School, integrating ABA therapy & academics.
Through our collaboration with ETC Phoenix School, families don't have to choose between therapy and education. This one-of-a-kind partnership allows children to receive intensive ABA therapy while enrolled part- or full-time in a supportive academic setting. Our therapists work side by side with teachers to help students succeed both behaviorally and academically.
​
At ABA Today, Gateway4ABA, and ETC Phoenix, we share one belief: Every child can grow, learn, and thrive when therapy and education work together.
Our companion organization, built with the same heart & standard of care.
Gateway4ABA began as a way to ensure ABA Today staff families had access to high-quality ABA therapy. Over time, it grew into a full clinical provider that now serves families across Northern Virginia. Gateway4ABA shares the entire Reston Center, clinical leadership, training model, and family-centered philosophy with ABA Today.
​
Families experience:
-
the same warm, personalized approach
-
the same center-based environment
-
the same clinical oversight and standards
-
the added capacity for more children to receive services
Thorough evaluations & expert guidance for home, school, and community.
Our BCBAs provide expert assessments and individualized consultation for families, schools, and other professionals. We use gold-standard tools like the VB-MAPP, AFLS, and ABLLS-R to understand each child's strengths and needs, then design plans that truly fit. Our BCBAs will also work in conjunction with our partners at ETC Phoenix to conduct educational assessments with your family, in order to determine the best program and path forward for your child.
​
We also offer consultation services to private and public schools seeking behavioral expertise or staff training.
Connection, confidence, and meaningful peer experiences.
Friendship, teamwork, and fun all come together in our social skills groups. Children practice communication, confidence, and connection through shared activities likes gaming, crafts, and team challenges that are all guided by our exceptional therapists and staff who make learning feel like play. Groups are small, supportive, and open to children across all ages and ability levels.
​
Learning doesn't just stop at our center doors. We also host family-friendly events throughout the year to celebrate progress and connection. Through guided community outings, children and families alike can practice everyday skills and make meaningful connections with other ABA Today families.​
​
Families deserve support, clarity, and tools they can use everyday.
We believe parents are the most important part of the therapy team. Our coaching sessions and interactive workshops teach families practical ABA strategies to use at home. From managing routines to encouraging communication & independence, parents have the opportunity to pick up new approaches while connecting with one another through support meetings and community events.
Supporting the next generation of compassionate & capable clinicians.
For graduate students completing supervised fieldwork, ABA Today offers structured BACB-approved supervision by experienced BCBAs.
Our model emphasizes mentorship, ethics, and practice in skill development in a supportive learning environment.
