What to Look For in an ABA Program

1) Individualized, goal-driven plans

Ask how goals are chosen and measured. Look for clear data tracking, parent input, and regular review of progress.

2) Qualified clinical oversight

Who designs and supervises treatment? Ensure a qualified clinician provides ongoing supervision and caregiver coaching.

3) In-home vs. in clinic aba therapy

Center-based sessions add structure; in-home brings support into daily routines. Many families use a blend of both.

4) Caregiver training & support

If you searched “aba therapy training near me,” ask how you’ll be coached—great programs teach strategies you can use right away.

5) Collaboration with schools & specialists

Good teams coordinate with speech/OT and teachers—useful if you’re exploring Autism school Oakville or transition planning.

Consider scheduling, location, wait times, and how the team communicates. You should feel heard and supported.

Answers to Common Autism Questions

What is 90% of autism caused by?

You may hear “90%” in discussions about autism. Research shows autism is highly heritable—often estimated around 80–90%, meaning genetics play a major role across many genes. A single cause hasn’t been found, and for some people early-life factors may contribute. Parenting style and vaccines do not cause autism.

What is the biggest red flag for autism?

There isn’t one universal sign. Early indicators often include differences in communication (limited babbling, pointing, or gestures), fewer back-and-forth interactions, and differences in play, interests, or sensory responses. If you’re concerned, a conversation with a clinician is the right next step.

Is autism inherited from mom or dad?

Autism can be inherited from either parent, and it typically involves many genes. Some cases are linked to new (de novo) genetic changes that were not present in either parent.

Is a high IQ linked to autism?

Intelligence varies among autistic people. Some have average or higher IQ; others have intellectual disability. A high IQ isn’t required for diagnosis—supports should be based on a whole-person assessment of strengths and needs.
