When your child is diagnosed with autism, one of the first and biggest decisions you’ll face is how — and where — to start therapy. There’s no shortage of options: in-home services, telehealth sessions, virtual consults. But here’s the truth that every parent should know:
Not all ABA therapy is the same.
At Inner Circle Autism Network, we prioritize in-person, center-based ABA — and here’s why.
Face-to-Face Makes a Difference
At Inner Circle Autism Network, your child is learning through movement, interaction, and play — with their Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) right there beside them.
There’s no lag. No waiting for a connection. Just real-time support, feedback, and encouragement — every single session.
Built for Play, Designed for Progress
Walk into an Inner Circle clinic and you’ll see the difference immediately.
Our centers don’t feel like offices. They feel like places where kids belong. From the Jungle Room to the Space Room, every inch is designed to spark curiosity and support growth. These spaces are more than just fun — they’re intentionally crafted environments that reinforce social skills, school readiness, motor planning, cooperation, and independence.
In-person therapy allows for natural, meaningful reinforcement: a high-five or a shared moment of success. That kind of connection is hard to replicate virtually — especially for young children or those with limited verbal skills.
Your Team Is Right Here
At Inner Circle Autism Network, our BCBAs live and work in your community. They’re walking into the clinic each morning, ready to build real relationships with your child and your family.
Having both the RBT and the BCBA present in the clinic ensures constant collaboration, consistency, and supervision. It’s a team effort — and one your child can feel in every interaction.
This setup also allows for quick adjustments, smarter goal tracking, and stronger RBT and BCBA collaboration. Because when the people designing your child’s program are also there to implement it, things just work.
What the Research Says
In a 2020 article published by the journal Behavior Analysis in Practice, researchers noted that while tele-ABA can be a helpful supplement for some families, in-person services continue to be the preferred method — especially for younger children or those who require more intensive support.
Our center-based ABA program is grounded in evidence-based interventions identified by the National Autism Center’s National Standards Project, and our BCBAs are on-site to directly oversee treatment and ensure high-quality implementation.
The Bottom Line
Your child deserves a therapy experience that’s built for them.
At Inner Circle, we’ve designed every part of our clinics with that belief in mind. From the layout to the staff to the themed rooms your child will want to come back to — we’ve created a place where kids can grow, families feel supported, and therapy doesn’t feel like a chore.
This is what ABA therapy should look like.
