ABA Services From Any Long Island Location
You can choose the location that works best for your child. In our experience, children often thrive most in settings where they feel safe and understood, which is why many families choose in-home ABA therapy. A Flying Colors ABA therapist serving Long Island can work within your home, supporting learning through familiar routines and everyday moments. If school-based or center-based care is a better fit for your family, our therapists are happy to provide services in the setting that feels right for your child.
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 Does a Typical In-Home ABA Session Look Like?
Your child will learn skills they’ll use every day in our carefully designed in-home sessions. These skills could include:
Following simple routines like getting ready to leave the house
Waiting their turn during games and family activities
Transitioning calmly from playtime to bedtime
Families in Cedarhurst often share that in-home ABA autism therapy feels much easier than center-based care. Without travel time or scheduling stress, therapy fits more smoothly into their everyday life rather than always competing with it.
When sessions take place at home, you can learn strategies in real time, see what works, 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, their peers, or to situations that arise in a learning environment. These skills could include:
Playing with friends in the courtyard
Working through classroom instructions and routines
Navigating transitions like moving between recess and classes
Our parent body often finds that school and center-based ABA autism therapy is especially practical because support is delivered where challenges naturally arise. Instead of working on skills in isolation, therapy is integrated into real expectations, through social interactions, and academic demands, with strategies applied in real time, often alongside teachers and classmates.
Why Parents and Children Love Flying Colors’ ABA
Families quickly notice that at Flying Colors ABA, children are treated as individuals with unique abilities. Our therapists take time to understand how each child learns, responds, and feels throughout the day, delivering structured, evidence-based therapy in a way that still feels warm, engaging, and enjoyable. Progress is built thoughtfully, with children supported and challenged at a pace that feels right for them.
That same care extends to our parents. Families often feel a sense of relief knowing their child is supported by deeply compassionate, carefully selected, highly trained professionals. Our team is guided by experienced clinical leadership and is deeply committed to its work. With consistent, personalized care in place, many parents feel more confident and less alone, able to trust the process and focus on their child’s growth.
“My daughter struggled with social skills and communication. She was bullied, had no friends, and felt like a passerby in school. The school was ready to send her to special ed.
Flying Colors took ownership of our case. They truly cared and went above and beyond. They “got” my child and were intuitive to her needs. They pinpointed the issues and worked with them, using the most effective evidence-based techniques. They completely took the pressure off our minds and were always there for us.
My daughter is a new child! She’s tuned in to others and her surroundings. She used to be in her own bubble, but when we recently visited family she asked them how they were doing! She’s more interested in everything and has started to mature and take responsibility. She’s more outgoing and holds regular conversations. Everyone loves her now. ”

Flying Colors’ ABA Process
Starting ABA therapy is often simpler than you might expect, although the care itself is intentionally thorough. 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 Cedarhurst, 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, and thoroughly know their learning style, motivation, behavior patterns, and factors that may influence their progress at home, in school, or in the community.
#2
Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on the evaluation, our team of BCBAs will develop a detailed, individualized treatment plan tailored to your child’s success. This plan outlines clear goals, strategies, and the specialized support they’ll receive.

Depending on your child’s needs, the treatment plan may include:
- Structured, center-style ABA sessions in a more controlled environment with fewer distractions to support focused learning
- ABA sessions in your child’s school, helping them develop skills with peers, and allowing progress to be made in a natural learning environment
- In-home ABA therapy across Cedarhurst, where children feel most comfortable, and daily routines and behaviors can be directly supported
- Community-based ABA sessions to build social skills, functional independence, and real-world awareness
- Social groups with peers and siblings, supporting communication and interactions in shared settings
#3
Hands-On, Coordinated Care
Your child will work one-on-one with our highly trained paraprofessional staff with close and ongoing supervision from BCBA’s. Care is coordinated across settings with our BCBAs collaborating with teachers, therapists, doctors, and other providers involved in your child’s care. Weekly team meetings ensure consistent care with everyone using the same approach.
#4
Ongoing Communication & Progress Monitoring
You will receive regular communication from our clinical team, including from our CEO herself. Progress is constantly reviewed through clinical oversight and team meetings. Supervising BCBAs track outcomes, adjust strategies, and apply a holistic lens when needed, considering factors such as sleep, medical concerns, sensory needs, or speech and language development that may affect progress. We’ll provide detailed updates on your child’s progress and work closely with you to make all necessary adjustments.
#5
Parent Coaching and Ongoing Support
You’re encouraged to stay actively involved throughout the process. You’ll receive coaching and guidance on strategies we work on during therapy sessions, and we’ll talk through the parts of the day where you still encounter difficulty with your child. The goal is to support both your child and your family, not just during sessions, but throughout everyday life.
Hear It From Our Parents
“We were having serious behavioral issues with my son. He was very non-compliant, always getting into trouble at home and school, and fighting with his siblings.
The Flying Colors team is so calm and knowledgeable. They understand what makes my son tick and don’t get fazed by his behavior. You can see that they love him. It’s like having a partner helping me with everything. This level of personal care, quality of service, and devotion is unheard of.
My son is now thriving. He’s much more obedient, calm, and settled. We don’t get into power struggles anymore. He’s happier, more social, and flexible. It’s changed the atmosphere at home.”

Frequently Asked Questions on ABA Therapy on Long Island, NY
What is ABA therapy, and how does it help children?
ABA therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps children build everyday skills in small, clear steps. A behavior analyst looks at what skills your child already has, where they struggle, and how 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 tasks such as following simple instructions, completing daily routines, communicating needs, or managing changes in plans. In a consultation, we give you an honest view of whether ABA or early intervention fits your child’s needs right now based on your concerns and observations at home.
Who does Flying Colors ABA work with on Long Island?
We support children and young adults with autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and other developmental needs, as well as those who may benefit from additional behavioral support. Many of the children we work with attend mainstream schools.
How are therapy goals created for my child?
To set goals for your child, we start with an initial meeting with a behavior analyst. Flying Colors ABA gets to know you and your child, and learn about your routines and how your child behaves in everyday situations
We then write a specific plan, such as developing a smooth morning routine, learning to change activities with less distress, or learning when and how to ask for help. The behavior analyst will review our plan and goals with you before sessions begin.
What happens during an ABA session?
During an ABA session, therapists follow a structured plan created by the behavior analyst that focuses on practicing skills during everyday activities. A careful eye is kept on adapting strategies as your child grows and responds to therapy.
What is my role as a parent in ABA therapy?
Parents are involved in their child’s ABA from the start. Your priorities inform us what to teach your child and in what order. You can see and copy the strategies we use with your child. You can discuss other challenges that won’t be addressed in sessions so that we can empower you to help your child in your own time.
