ABA Services From Any Westchester, NY Location
While your child can thrive in services held in any location, we find that most children feel best understood at home. Flying Colors ABA therapists in Westchester, NY, offer sessions in the comfort of your home so your child is surrounded by the people they love and the setting they already know.
But parents know best. If you feel center-based or in-school ABA therapy is better suited to your child and family setup, our ABA therapists are happy to come to the setting of your choice.
Our behavior technicians can support skill-building in the best way possible when a child is at ease. We’ve seen confidence soar and sessions become more engaging when children learn and practice new skills in the environment where they feel most comfortable.
What Does a Typical Session of In-Home ABA Therapy in Westchester 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 Westchester 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
Our parents in Westchester often share how quickly they notice the difference with Flying Colors ABA; their children are truly seen and supported. Our therapists look beyond written goals to learn how each child thinks, responds, and feels throughout their day. Therapy is always structured and evidence-based, while sessions feel natural and encouraging, and so much more enjoyable than our clients expect! New goals are introduced thoughtfully, helping children stretch their abilities while still feeling comfortable and confident.
That same care extends to parents and caregivers. Many families describe a growing sense of relief as therapy progresses, knowing their child is supported by professionals who are attentive and genuinely invested. Our team is carefully chosen, thoroughly trained, and supported by ongoing clinical guidance from experienced field experts. With time, we watch families finally feel at peace with their child’s diagnosis as they are able to step back and trust the process because their child is so clearly experiencing success.
“Flying Colors ABA changed everything for our family. They didn’t just look at our child’s behavior – they looked deeper. When they suspected something medical was affecting her ability to focus, they guided us toward additional testing. Once that issue was treated, we finally started to see real progress. Our daughter could focus, engage, and actually work toward goals. We’re so grateful they didn’t stop at the surface and truly advocated for what our child needed.”

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, Comprehensive 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
“From the very beginning, Flying Colors ABA approached our child with curiosity and care.
During a time when tantrums felt overwhelming, they didn’t rush to blame behavior or autism alone. Instead, they helped us step back and look at the bigger picture. They recommended an OT evaluation, which revealed challenges with right-left processing and orientation that we never would have connected on our own.
Once our child started working with the right OT — along with speech and ABA — everything began to click.
Progress came faster, frustrations decreased, and we finally felt like we had the right team supporting our child.”

FAQ’s on ABA Therapy in Westchester County, NY
How do I know if ABA is right for my child?
ABA programs are helpful if your child struggles with things like following directions, expressing needs, managing transitions, or completing daily routines. During an initial conversation, we address your concerns and observations and give you an honest perspective on whether ABA is a good fit for your child right now.
What is the best age to start ABA therapy?
ABA therapy can begin at almost any age, but many children benefit most when support starts early, while communication and social skills are still developing. Early intervention helps build strong foundational skills, though older children and teens also make meaningful progress. The best time to start is whenever challenges begin affecting daily life.
Is ABA therapy only for children with autism?
No, ABA therapy is not only for children with autism. At Flying Colors ABA, we work with children and young adults with ASD, ADHD, sensory issues, other diagnoses, and any children and young adults seeking intervention. Many of our clients are in mainstream schools. Our focus is on the individual child’s needs, goals, and daily challenges, rather than their diagnosis.
How do I choose between home, school, or center-based ABA?
The best setting depends on where your child needs support most. Home works well for routines and daily living skills, school helps with peer and classroom behavior, and center sessions support structured learning.
How are therapy goals developed for my child?
At Flying Colors ABA, goal-setting begins with getting to know your child and your family. A behavior analyst meets with you to understand your routines, and the situations that feel most challenging day to day. From there, we create a clear, personalized plan that may focus on things like smoother mornings and easier transitions, or asking for help more effectively. You review and discuss all goals with us before therapy begins.
