Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on teaching meaningful skills and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning and daily life.

ABA therapy uses individualized strategies, ongoing assessment, and data collection to support progress in areas such as communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and emotional regulation.

Services are thoughtfully provided in environments that best support each child’s needs throughout Arkansas, including:

• Home

• Daycare or preschool

• School settings

• Community environments

Our goal is to support skill development in settings where children naturally learn, interact, and participate in daily life.

Full Moon Foundations ABA provides services for children and young adults ages 1–21.

Many insurance providers require an autism diagnosis for ABA services to be covered. Coverage requirements may vary depending on the insurance plan.

Direct therapy sessions are typically provided by a Behavior Technician (BT) or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).

Each child’s treatment program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who monitors progress and provides ongoing clinical guidance. The BCBA regularly reviews progress, provides supervision, and updates the treatment plan to support meaningful outcomes for each child.

Yes. Caregiver collaboration is an important part of ABA services. We work closely with families to share progress updates, provide guidance, and support skill development outside of therapy sessions.

There are regularly scheduled caregiver training meetings with the supervising BCBA to review progress, discuss goals, and learn strategies that support your child’s development across different environments.

We prioritize meaningful caregiver involvement rather than simply maximizing therapy hours, because the goal of ABA is to help children develop skills that support greater independence in daily life.

The number of ABA therapy hours recommended varies for each child. Recommendations are determined following a comprehensive assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Full Moon Foundations ABA does not use preset therapy hour models. Services are thoughtfully recommended based on what will best support meaningful progress.

Recommendations may change over time as skills develop and needs evolve.

We also offer private-pay options for families who prefer not to use insurance.

The cost of ABA therapy varies depending on factors such as recommended therapy hours and insurance coverage. Many families use insurance benefits to help cover the cost of services.

Once authorization from your insurance provider is received, we will review any applicable co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket costs so you understand potential financial responsibilities before services begin.
