The
ABA-
Phoenix
Program
Bridging therapy and education.
ABA Today and our affiliate, Gateway4ABA, are proud to partner with ETC Phoenix School of Fairfax, VA to offer an innovative, collaborative option for children who benefit from both intensive ABA therapy and a structured, inclusive academic environment.

How the ABA-Phoenix
Program Works
Full-time and part-time enrollment options
Children can participate in the program full-day (6 hours) or half-day (3 hours) depending on their needs.
​
A blended schedule across two locations
Our families follow the schedule below:
-
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays → ETC Phoenix School (academics + ABA)
-
Tuesdays, Thursdays → ABA Today Reston Center (intensive ABA, small groups, skill building)
-
We utilize Medical Ubers, and children are always accompanied by an ABA therapist.
​
This rhythm allows children to benefit from both environments:
structured academic learning and targeted therapeutic support.
​
One-on-one ABA available throughout the school day
Our therapists accompany students in:
-
core subject classes
-
specials (art, PE, music, etc.)
-
small-group rooms
-
social times
-
transitions
-
recess
-
arrival/dismissal routines
Every moment becomes a chance to teach communication, independence, emotional regulation, flexibility, and confidence.
Tuition & Enrollment
Due to the program featuring both school and therapy, we work closely with each family to determine scheduling, coverage options, and individualized pathways. Participation in the ABA-Phoenix Program will be reviewed in each family's intake meeting & assessments, and enrollment into ABA-Phoenix is completed directly with ETC Phoenix School.
​
Half-Day Program: $1,000/month
Full-Day Program: $2,000/month
(September–May; summer options available)
​
Tuition is paid directly to ETC Phoenix School.
ABA therapy services are billed separately and discussed individually with families.
What Makes This Partnership Unique?
Unlike traditional "school support" models where therapy and education operate separately, our partnership with ETC Phoenix School is built on true collaboration: daily communication, shared planning, and unified progress tracking.
​
ETC Phoenix provides a nurturing academic program led by specialized teachers, while ABA Today ensures behavioral, social, and adaptive support is seamlessly integrated throughout the day.
​
This collaborative approach allows children to:
-
Maintain necessary therapeutic intensity (up to 40 hours/week)
-
Build academic and social readiness
-
Transition naturally between therapy and classroom environments
-
Experience greater independence and confidence
Because when educators and therapists believe in a child together, anything is possible.
Power in Daily Collaboration
What makes this partnership thrive is the constant communication between:
-
ETC teachers
-
ABA Today/Gateway4ABA therapists
-
BCBAs
-
Educational specialists
-
Parents
​
Together, we ensure:
-
Skills learned in ABA show up in school
-
Academic skills generalize into ABA sessions​​
-
Children experience fewer barriers and more success
Because both teams work from one shared plan.
