ABA Therapy in Schertz

At our Schertz, TX location, Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education provides individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related developmental needs.

Our ABA services focus on building communication skills, increasing independence, strengthening social development, and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning or safety. Each child receives a customized treatment plan designed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and implemented through one-on-one therapy sessions.

We proudly serve families in Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, and surrounding Northeast San Antonio communities, offering compassionate, evidence-based autism therapy designed to help children thrive at home, in school, and in the community.

Yes, we offer in-home ABA therapy services in Schertz when clinically appropriate. Some children benefit from learning skills directly in their home environment, especially when goals focus on daily routines, communication within the family, or safety skills.

A supervising BCBA will complete an assessment to determine whether in-home ABA therapy or clinic-based therapy is the best fit for your child’s needs. Our goal is to provide services in the setting where your child can make the most meaningful progress.

At Cultivate, we believe ABA therapy should be individualized, compassionate, and family-centered. We take time to understand your child’s strengths, interests, and learning style before building their treatment plan.

Families in Schertz choose us because we focus on collaboration. We partner closely with parents and caregivers to ensure skills taught in therapy generalize to everyday life. Our programs are not “one-size-fits-all” — they are carefully tailored to help each child build communication, independence, flexibility, and confidence.

We are committed to delivering ethical, evidence-based ABA therapy while creating a welcoming environment where children feel supported and motivated to learn.

The number of ABA therapy hours your child receives depends on the results of their comprehensive assessment and the recommendation made by their supervising BCBA.

Some children benefit from focused ABA therapy (fewer hours per week targeting specific goals), while others may require comprehensive ABA therapy (up to 40 hours per week) to address broader developmental needs.

After the assessment, we will work with your family to create a schedule that supports your child’s growth while fitting into your daily routine.

Yes. Parent training is an essential component of ABA therapy at our Schertz location.

We provide caregiver guidance sessions where families learn practical strategies to support communication, manage challenging behaviors, and reinforce skills at home. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to continue your child’s progress outside of therapy sessions.

ABA therapy is most effective when families and clinicians work together — and we prioritize that partnership.

ABA therapy may be recommended if your child has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder or if they are experiencing challenges with communication, social interaction, daily living skills, or behavior regulation.

Common signs that ABA therapy may be beneficial include difficulty following directions, limited communication skills, frequent meltdowns, unsafe behaviors, or struggles with peer interactions.

If your child has received an autism diagnosis and has been referred for ABA services, our team can conduct a clinical assessment to determine the appropriate level of care.

Yes, parent involvement is encouraged. Depending on the setting and your child’s goals, you may observe sessions, participate in caregiver training, or practice strategies alongside your child.

In some cases, siblings may also be included in sessions when it supports social skill development or generalization of learning. We aim to create a collaborative environment where the entire family feels supported.

ABA therapy at our Schertz clinic is best described as “learning disguised as fun.”

Sessions are individualized and include a combination of structured skill-building and natural play-based teaching. Your child may work on communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and emotional regulation through engaging activities tailored to their interests.

Positive reinforcement is used to encourage skill development and build motivation. Throughout the session, therapists rotate activities to keep learning engaging and productive.

ABA therapy is data-driven. During every session, therapists collect real-time data using a secure digital app on their iPads. This data tracks skill acquisition, behavior reduction, and goal mastery.

The supervising BCBA reviews and analyzes this data regularly to ensure your child is progressing. If needed, treatment plans are adjusted to maintain momentum and address any barriers to learning.

This ongoing monitoring ensures therapy remains effective, individualized, and responsive to your child’s needs.

Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education does not provide formal autism diagnoses at our Schertz location.

However, we offer free developmental screening tools such as the M-CHAT (for toddlers) and CAST (for school-aged children) to help families determine whether a comprehensive evaluation may be beneficial.

If a formal diagnosis is needed, we can connect you with trusted diagnostician partners who provide convenient virtual autism evaluations. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our clinical team can begin developing an individualized ABA therapy program tailored to your child’s needs.
