First - What is ABA therapy?

ABA therapy helps children with autism build everyday, valuable skills: communication, independence and social connection.

It works by understanding what drives your child's behavior and teaching new skills in a way that makes sense to them. The goal is simple: help your child become more capable and confident in their everyday life.

Why parents trust True Progress Therapy

Not all therapy is created equal

As a parent, only the best will do. This is why True Progress Therapy fits the bill.

Great ABA gets you started fast

No waitlist. No months of waiting while your child needs help now. Within two weeks of your first call, therapy begins.

Great ABA starts with great BCBAs

Our BCBAs have monthly roundtables, weekly office hours, and monthly supervision meetings led by our clinical director, Michele Young. This infrastructure means your child gets personalized attention and your child's BCBA is constantly learning and staying sharp.

Great ABA adapts to your life

Cookie-cutter therapy doesn't work, so we bring sessions to your home or your child's school — wherever they'll make the most progress.

Great ABA includes you

We train you every week on the same strategies our therapists use so progress doesn't stop when the session ends. You're not a spectator. You're partnering with us.

Great ABA measures results

We track data from day one so you'll see concrete proof of what's working, and we adjust what isn't.

Great ABA respects your family

We understand and respect the diverse backgrounds of the families we serve. Our team is trained in cultural competency to provide sensitive and appropriate care that honors your family's values and beliefs.

What progress actually looks like

Still your child, but transformed

Communication

Your child learns to ask for what they need with words instead of behavior. Transitions that once caused meltdowns become manageable. They try new things without fear.

Independence

Getting dressed, brushing teeth, the morning routine — your child handles these without constant direction from you. You move from managing every moment to actually parenting.

Resilience

Disappointment doesn't derail them anymore. They recover from setbacks. They adapt when things change and move forward.

Confidence

Your child raises their hand in class, makes new friends, and shows the world who they really are.

Hear it from our families

Karen Barahona

Alex, BCBA and ABA therapist are wonderful, i had a very nice experience and one of my sons was nonverbal and throw the therapy now he's capable of saying a few words. It's been a long journey but True Program has great staff, who will listen and help you get through it. My two kids love their BCBA and their therapist too and that means a lot for us and to them as well. I am very happy and very grateful to have wonderful and amazing people around my kids and I.

Markeya Washington

My sons have really done phenomenally since starting their therapy sessions. Both have gone from non verbal to one perfecting his speech and the other being able to repeat as needed while developing his own words as well. Everyone is always supportive and helpful, you can tell they want everyone to succeed.

Jason Accordino

I'd called 3 other places before True Progress Therapy and got nowhere. These guys were AMAZING from the first call! No "we'll get back to you", they answered and actually helped right then. The intake lady was so nice and walked me through everything. I was blown away. Had our first session set up so fast!! Seriously wish I'd found them first. If you're stuck on waitlists, call them NOW. Highly recommend!

Tamika Riley

I just want to take a moment to share my experience with True Progress Therapy. I have three children receiving services with this company, all with unique needs. Since I had never received services for my twin 4 year olds, and 7 year-old before, we were unsure of what to expect. However, the BCBA, Michele Young, came out and did the assessment, and immediately made us feel comfortable. The treatment plans were individualized and aligned with our concerns, and their needs. The staff that were paired with my children as direct providers, all are amazing and a perfect fit.

Rachelli Oseroff

From day one, their team has shown an incredible level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. The therapists are knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping each child thrive. We've seen measurable progress—not just in behavior, but in communication and confidence as well.
