At Growing Minds ABA, we know that choosing the right ABA therapy for your child is an important decision. Families often wonder why ABA services can be costly and what goes into the pricing of ethical, high-quality autism therapy. We believe in full transparency, ensuring that every dollar spent contributes directly to your child’s progress and well-being.
Why Does Ethical ABA Therapy Have Costs?
ABA therapy isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about changing lives through individualized, evidence-based interventions. Providing therapy in a way that is both effective and ethical requires trained professionals, personalized care, and a commitment to quality.
1. A Team of Highly Trained Professionals
Ethical ABA therapy is delivered by skilled professionals who undergo extensive training and certification. This includes:
✔ Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) – Experts who assess, design, and oversee therapy programs.
✔ Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) & Therapists – Trained professionals who work one-on-one with your child.
✔ Ongoing Supervision & Training – Our team receives continuous education to stay up to date with best practices.
Because our team is highly skilled, we ensure that your child’s therapy is safe, ethical, and effective—but this level of expertise does come at a cost.
2. Individualized, Data-Driven Therapy Plans
No two children are the same, and neither are their therapy plans. At Growing Minds ABA, we create personalized treatment plans based on thorough assessments, continuous progress tracking, and family collaboration. Customizing therapy to meet each child’s needs ensures the best possible outcomes.
3. Ethical Supervision & Quality Assurance
To maintain the highest standards, BCBAs regularly review and update each child’s program. Ethical ABA therapy means:
✔ Ensuring your child receives the right amount of therapy—not too much, not too little
✔ Ongoing adjustments to strategies based on data and family input
✔ Adhering to the highest ethical standards set by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)
4. One-on-One Therapy for Meaningful Progress
ABA therapy is individualized—meaning your child receives direct, focused support. One-on-one sessions with a trained therapist allow for greater engagement, faster progress, and meaningful skill development. While this personalized approach leads to higher costs, it also ensures that each child gets the attention they deserve.
5. Investing in Ethical, Evidence-Based Care
We are committed to ethical practices—meaning we never over-recommend therapy hours or suggest unnecessary services. We follow best practices in:
✔ Ethical billing – Clear, transparent pricing with no hidden fees
✔ Family collaboration – You are always part of the decision-making process
✔ Compassionate care – Therapy that prioritizes your child’s well-being and dignity
6. Accessing Funding & Insurance Support
We know that the cost of therapy can feel overwhelming. That’s why we work with families to navigate funding options, including:
✔ Ontario Autism Program (OAP) funding
✔ Flexible payment plans & financial resources
At Growing Minds ABA, we are committed to helping families find financial solutions so their child can receive the care they need.
