ABA Therapy in St. Paul

ABA therapy is the most widely funded autism intervention in the US, and in Minnesota it sits inside a broader benefit that also covers other approaches. That means St. Paul families have real choices - and worth understanding before you commit.

ABA is also debated. Many families find it helpful; some autistic self-advocates raise concerns about certain historical practices. A good provider today should be individualized, play-based, respectful of your child, and focused on skills and communication rather than compliance.
