Ability Avenues ABA Center

Children under 21 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related conditions are eligible. We currently accept children covered by Medicaid and EIDBI services through Minnesota's Department of Human Services, with plans to accept commercial insurance soon.

At Ability Avenues, the weekly hours for ABA therapy vary based on the child’s individual needs and family availability. Generally, therapy can range from 10 to 40 hours per week. For families seeking a more intensive, full-time approach, sessions may be scheduled for 30 to 40 hours weekly, which is ideal for young children or those needing comprehensive support. Part-time therapy, typically between 10 to 20 hours per week, may be appropriate for older children or those with less intensive needs. Our approach is flexible, and we collaborate with families to determine the best schedule that balances effective therapy with the family’s lifestyle and the child’s capacity. Each schedule is crafted to promote progress while maintaining a sustainable pace for everyone involved.

At Ability Avenues, we track each child’s progress closely through data collection on our platform, Raven Health. During each session, therapists document your child’s responses, skill development, and any behavioral changes. This data is then analyzed monthly to identify trends, track improvements, and adjust therapy goals as needed to ensure ongoing progress. To keep families informed, we offer a secure parent portal where you can log in at any time to view your child’s documents, session notes, and progress updates. This transparency allows you to stay connected to your child’s therapy journey, and our team is always available to discuss progress during regular check-ins or as questions arise.

Our team includes: Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs): Develop and oversee individualized treatment plans, conduct assessments, and guide therapy based on data analysis. They hold advanced degrees and certifications in behavior analysis. Qualified Supervising Providers (QSPs): Work closely with BCBAs to coordinate and supervise therapy, ensuring all interventions meet high standards. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs): Work directly with your child to implement therapy plans. RBTs are trained and certified in ABA techniques, providing one-on-one support. Each role brings specialized expertise, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care for your child.
