HOW ABA WITH FERNWILD WORKS
A clear path from first call to a workable plan
Starting services should not feel confusing. We keep the process plain, paced, and measurable. On our initial consultation we'll discuss goals, availability, and next steps.
Service locations
In-home sessions within our service radius and secure telehealth sessions for parent coaching, where allowed.
Insurance & payment
We can verify benefits and discuss payment options during your consultation. We will be clear about coverage and expectations.
1. Connect
We start with your child's strengths, challenges, and the daily situations that matter most.
2. Assessment
We observe, interact, and review relevant history to understand patterns and current skill levels.
3. Plan & start
We choose priorities, set measurable goals, and begin at a schedule that is realistic.
4. Review & grow
We track progress, revise strategies, and continue coaching for follow-through at home.

FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS
Support that fits real life, not just a plan on paper.
Names and details adjusted to protect privacy, but the gratitude is very real.
"Our son went from daily meltdowns around getting ready for bed to a calm, predictable routine. The strategies we learned felt respectful of him and realistic for us."
Parent of 6-year-old
"We never felt judged. Every session ended with small, doable next steps, and over time those added up to big changes for our daughter and our whole family."
Parent of 4-year-old
"Having someone explain the 'why' behind behaviors changed everything. We feel equipped, not helpless, when challenges come up now."
Parent of 9-year-old
QUESTIONS FROM PARENTS
Is ABA right for my child?
It's normal to have questions—especially if you've heard mixed things about ABA. We're happy to talk through your concerns and share how we practice ethically and compassionately.
Is ABA a fit for our child?
We are glad to discuss your child's specific needs after you submit the onboarding form.
What ages do you work with?
We work primarily with toddlers, preschool-age children, and school-age learners through middle school.
How many hours per week will my child need?
That depends on the assessment. Treatment intensity is based on clinical need, not a fixed number. We will recommend a schedule that is realistic for your family.
Do you offer in-school support?
We can coordinate with school teams when appropriate. Direct services are typically provided in-home or via telehealth.
What does a typical session look like?
Sessions focus on the goals in your child's treatment plan. An RBT works directly with your child under BCBA supervision. Parent training is woven into the process so strategies carry over into daily life.
Can I be present during sessions?
Yes. Parent involvement is part of how we work. Observation and coaching during sessions helps caregivers carry strategies forward.
