ABA Therapy in Overland Park

At our Overland Park, KS location, Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education delivers individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy designed to help children with autism and developmental delays build meaningful, functional skills. Our services focus on improving communication, strengthening social interaction, increasing independence, and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning.

ABA therapy is provided primarily in a structured clinic setting where children benefit from consistent routines, focused instruction, and opportunities for peer engagement. Each child’s treatment plan is developed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and tailored to their unique developmental profile. We also collaborate with families and local schools to ensure continuity of care across environments.

At this time, our Overland Park clinic primarily provides center-based ABA therapy services. The clinic environment allows children to participate in structured learning, social skill development, and individualized instruction in a consistent and supportive setting.

If your child’s needs require coordination beyond the clinic, our clinical leadership team can discuss options and determine the most appropriate service model based on medical necessity and treatment goals.

Families in Overland Park often choose Cultivate because of our structured, data-informed approach to ABA therapy. We believe progress should be measurable, transparent, and individualized. Rather than using generalized programming, our BCBAs design custom treatment plans based on detailed assessments and ongoing analysis of progress data.

We operate under nationally recognized standards as a BHCOE-accredited organization and a member of the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP). Our clinical model emphasizes accountability, ethical practice, and meaningful collaboration with families. This ensures children receive therapy that is not only evidence-based, but also responsive and goal-oriented.

The recommended number of ABA therapy hours depends on your child’s assessment results and clinical needs. After completing a comprehensive evaluation, the BCBA will determine whether focused intervention or more comprehensive services are appropriate.

Therapy is typically provided Monday through Friday to maintain consistency and structure. The goal is to deliver an intensity of services that supports steady skill acquisition while aligning with your family’s schedule and long-term objectives.

Yes. Caregiver collaboration is a key part of our ABA services in Overland Park. While daily therapy sessions are conducted one-on-one between the child and their RBT, caregivers participate in structured training sessions with the BCBA.

These sessions focus on reviewing treatment goals, modeling strategies, and providing guidance for reinforcing skills at home. Consistent parent involvement helps promote skill generalization and strengthens long-term outcomes.

ABA therapy may be appropriate if your child experiences challenges with expressive or receptive communication, peer relationships, emotional regulation, daily living skills, or behaviors that limit independence.

Many families begin exploring services following an autism diagnosis, but others seek evaluation after noticing developmental delays or behavioral concerns. Our Overland Park team can conduct an assessment to determine whether ABA therapy is clinically recommended and what level of support is appropriate.

A typical session at our Overland Park clinic includes individualized skill instruction, reinforcement-based teaching, and structured activities aligned with the child’s treatment plan. Instruction may target communication, social interaction, adaptive behavior, and executive functioning skills.

Sessions are designed to balance structured teaching with natural opportunities for practice. Social interaction may be incorporated when appropriate to promote peer engagement. Every session is supported by data collection to ensure progress is measurable and goal-directed.

Progress is monitored through continuous data collection during every session. Therapists record detailed information on skill acquisition, prompt levels, and behavior patterns. This data is analyzed by the supervising BCBA to determine treatment effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.

Families receive regular updates and progress summaries so they can clearly understand how their child is advancing toward individualized goals.

Our Overland Park team includes bilingual providers and we may also offer translation support services when available. We understand that clear communication between clinicians and families is critical to successful outcomes, and we make every effort to accommodate language preferences whenever possible.

We do not provide formal autism diagnostic evaluations. However, we offer free developmental screening tools such as the M-CHAT for toddlers and the CAST for school-aged children to help families determine whether further evaluation is recommended.

If a formal diagnosis is needed, we can connect families with trusted diagnostic providers who offer virtual autism evaluations for added convenience.
