ABA Services From Any Lawrence Location
We bring services to your child in any preferred location; however, in our experience, home is often where children feel safest and most heard. Your Flying Colors ABA therapist in Lawrence, NY, can conduct sessions right in your home, allowing learning within familiar schedules and everyday routines.
However, if you feel in-school or center-based ABA therapy would work better for your child and family setup, our ABA therapists are always happy to come to the setting of your choice or book a center-based session with us.
By working in the setting your child knows best, our behaviour technicians can support skill-building in ways that feel natural and meaningful. We’ve seen how confidence grows and how sessions become more engaging when children learn and practice new skills in the place where they feel most comfortable.
What Happens During a Typical In-Home ABA Session?
During in-home sessions, we cover day-to-day skills such as:
Sitting with your child at the table during your regular dinner and practicing staying seated, asking for more, and talking to others at the table
Sharing or taking turns playing with toys with a sibling
Practicing the steps of leaving the house, using the same coat, shoes, and bag your child uses every day
You get to see what happens in real time, ask questions, and try the same strategies yourself once the therapist leaves.
Families in Lawrence often share that in-home ABA autism therapy feels much easier than center-based care. Without travel time or scheduling stress, therapy fits seamlessly into their everyday life rather than always competing with it.
When sessions take place at home, you can see what works, learn strategies in real time, and use those same approaches throughout the week. Your child benefits too, as consistent approaches between therapists and parents help skills carry over naturally into daily routines.
What Do Center and School-Based ABA Sessions Look Like?
In a center or school-based ABA session, your child will practice skills related to their school day, thier peers, or to situations that arise in a learning environment. These skills could include:
Participating in small-group activities while sharing materials and taking turns
Staying focused during seated learning tasks
Responding appropiately to teacher prompts or group insructions
Many of our parents value school and center-based ABA autism therapy because it meets their child where real challenges happen. Skills are practiced within daily expectations, social settings, and academic tasks, allowing therapists to support progress in the moment, alongside classmates and educators when appropriate.
Why Parents and Children Love Flying Colors’ ABA
Parents who work with us know that at Flying Colors’ ABA, their child is so much more than a treatment plan. Our therapists go far beyond written objectives. They take time to understand how each child processes information, responds to their environment, and experiences their day. Sessions are carefully structured, grounded in evidence-based practice, while still inviting, positive, and real fun for your child. Growth balances meaningful challenges with thoughtful pacing so children feel supported rather than overwhelmed.
That same attentiveness carries through to the families as well. Parents frequently describe feeling a sense of relief as therapy unfolds, knowing their child is supported by therapists who are perceptive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their child’s success. Our professionals are intentionally selected, thoroughly trained, and supported through ongoing guidance from seasoned field professionals. Many families describe feeling calmer and less isolated, able to step back and trust the process because their child’s care is trustworthy, responsive, and tailored with such care.
“Before Flying Colors ABA, our child faced significant challenges with communication, flexibility, and emotional regulation. Small changes in language, routines, or expectations often led to intense frustration and overwhelming behaviors. As parents, we felt exhausted, unsure of how to help, and worried about how these challenges were affecting his daily life at home and school.
Since starting with Flying Colors ABA, the change has been incredible. His severe tantrums have become small, manageable outbursts that we now understand and can support—sometimes they’re even moments we can smile through. He is calmer, more flexible, and much more engaged with others. He is truly more alive.
Flying Colors ABA genuinely cares. The entire team is knowledgeable, involved, and always there for us. With weekly staff meetings and weekly in-person parent meetings, we went from feeling alone and lost to having a full team guiding us with direction, calm, and confidence. Flying Colors ABA didn’t just help our child grow—they helped our whole family.”

Flying Colors’ Process
Beginning ABA therapy for your child is smooth and simple. Here’s the process you can expect when starting ABA for toddlers, children, or teens with Flying Colors.
#1
Initial evaluation
When starting with one of our autism therapists in Lawrence, the first step is for us to learn about your child as a whole. We want to understand your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and treatment needs, along with their natural learning style, what motivates them, their general behaviour patterns, and any other factors that can affect their progress at school, at home, and in the community.

Depending on your child’s needs, the treatment plan may include:

Frequently Asked Questions on ABA Therapy in Lawrence, NY
What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy is a type of therapy often used with children with autism to teach skills in small, clear steps. A behavior analyst looks at what your child already does, where they struggle, and then creates a plan to build skills in areas such as communication, daily routines, and handling change.
How do I know if ABA is right for my child?
ABA is usually considered when a child has ongoing difficulty with things like following simple instructions, completing daily routines, communicating needs, or managing changes in plans. In a consultation, we talk through what you’re seeing at home and give you an honest view of whether ABA fits your child’s needs right now.
What happens during an in-home ABA session?
During an in-home session, a therapist works with your child in the places where daily life happens, such as the kitchen, bedroom, or living room. They follow the plan created by the behavior analyst, practice skills during regular activities, and keep notes on how your child responds so the plan can be updated as they grow.
How does Flying Colors ABA set goals for my child?
A behavior analyst from Flying Colors meets with you and your child, learns about your routines, and observes your child in everyday situations. From there, they write a plan with specific goals, like asking for help, handling a morning routine more smoothly, or moving between activities with less distress, and review it with you before sessions begin.
What is my role as a parent in ABA therapy?
Parents are involved from the start. We ask about your priorities, show you the strategies we use with your child, and talk through parts of the day that still feel hard so you can use the same tools outside of session time.
Do you take insurance for ABA therapy?
Flying Colors ABA provides ABA therapy in Lawrence on an insurance policy or private-pay basis. Reach out to us, and we can explore your different options.
Does Flying Colors ABA offer therapy elsewhere in New York?
Yes, Flying Colors ABA offers ABA therapy in Manhattan, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Long Island, Westchester County, and East Hampton, as well as many other neighborhoods across New York.
