ABA Therapy in Bowling Green

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

We offer one-on-one ABA therapy in our clinic, in-home ABA therapy services, and support in school or community settings when clinically appropriate. Each child receives a customized treatment plan developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to target communication skills, social development, daily living skills, emotional regulation, and behavior reduction.

Our mission is to serve families throughout Bowling Green and Warren County with evidence-based autism therapy that promotes independence, confidence, and long-term success across environments.

Yes, we proudly offer in-home ABA therapy services in Bowling Green and surrounding communities. In-home therapy allows children to practice skills within their natural routines, including mealtime behaviors, daily living skills, communication with family members, and safety awareness.

A BCBA will complete a comprehensive assessment to determine whether clinic-based ABA therapy or in-home services are the most appropriate setting for your child’s goals. Our team works closely with families to provide therapy where children learn best and feel most comfortable.

What sets Cultivate apart in Bowling Green is our commitment to individualized, family-centered ABA therapy. We do not use “cookie-cutter” treatment plans. Instead, we take time to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, interests, and your family’s priorities.

Our dedicated team members operate with integrity, accountability, and ownership, ensuring that each child’s treatment plan is implemented with consistency and care. We emphasize collaboration with families and other providers (such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, and schools) to ensure continuity of care and skill generalization.

Families in Bowling Green choose Cultivate because we combine evidence-based ABA therapy with compassionate, relationship-driven care.

The frequency of ABA therapy in Bowling Green depends on your child’s individual needs. After completing a thorough assessment, a supervising BCBA will recommend a schedule based on clinical necessity.

Some children benefit from focused ABA therapy (typically 10–20 hours per week), while others may require comprehensive ABA therapy (up to 40 hours per week). Services are typically provided Monday through Friday, with scheduling designed to support both therapeutic progress and family routines.

Consistency is key in ABA therapy, and we work collaboratively with families to ensure a schedule that promotes meaningful growth.

Yes. Parent training is an essential component of ABA therapy at Cultivate Bowling Green.

Our BCBAs provide structured caregiver training sessions to help parents learn the same strategies being used in therapy. These sessions focus on communication development, behavior support, emotional regulation, and daily living skills.

The goal of parent training is to ensure that skills learned during ABA therapy generalize to home, school, and community environments. We believe the most successful outcomes happen when families and clinicians work together as a team.

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

Common concerns that may indicate a need for ABA therapy include difficulty following directions, limited language development, frequent meltdowns, aggressive behaviors, elopement (running away), or challenges interacting with peers.

If you have concerns about your child’s development, we recommend speaking with your pediatrician or a licensed psychologist for evaluation. Once a diagnosis or referral is obtained, our team in Bowling Green can complete an ABA assessment to determine appropriate services.

At our Bowling Green clinic, ABA therapy sessions are individualized and engaging. Your child will work one-on-one with a Registered Behavior Technician throughout their session, implementing programming designed by the supervising BCBA.

Sessions include a combination of structured teaching (such as communication or academic readiness tasks) and natural environment teaching through play and social interaction. Goals may include skill acquisition, social development, independence, and reduction of challenging behaviors.

Our therapy environment is designed to be supportive, motivating, and developmentally appropriate for each child.

ABA therapy is all data-driven. At our Bowling Green location, we use Ensora Health (formerly Catalyst) for digital data collection.

Therapists collect real-time data during each session, tracking skill acquisition, behavior reduction, and mastery of goals. The supervising BCBA reviews this data regularly to make informed, evidence-based treatment decisions.

Parents are provided access to track their child’s progress and receive regular updates during caregiver meetings, ensuring transparency and collaboration.

Yes. Our Bowling Green ABA clinic serves children across all levels of communication, including nonverbal and minimally verbal learners.

We utilize alternative communication methods such as sign language, Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS), AAC devices, and other functional communication strategies. Our focus is helping every child develop a reliable and effective way to express their needs and interact with others.

Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education does not provide formal autism diagnostic evaluations.

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 families with trusted diagnostician partners who offer convenient virtual autism evaluations to reduce wait times. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our team can begin developing an individualized ABA therapy program tailored to your child’s needs.
