Success Story
From overwhelmed to empowered: Liam's journey
May 2023
Liam is 20 months old at the start of ABA therapy at Achieve ABA Therapy. He presents with no functional communicative or adaptive skills. Liam tantrums to communicate and his "play" consists of lining up matchbox cars or running in circles while flapping his hands.
Liam begins making purposeful sounds and recognizing others. He starts pointing to things to request them and with this new skill his tantrums start to decrease. Liam's play skills now include purposeful use of cause-and-effect music toys, playing with a car ramp, and completing inset puzzles.
August 2023
Liam begins interacting with others and forming full words. He displays joint attention skills by pointing to things to show his therapist, and will orient to see what she is pointing to. His play expands to building simple block structures and putting together train tracks. Mom reports that Liam allowed himself to be transferred from the car into the store without having a meltdown.
November 2023
Liam communicates his needs 90% of the time and can engage in parallel play with peers when supervised by an adult.
May 2024
With the support of Achieve Behavioral Therapy Clinical team, Liam is fully toilet trained and is communicating his needs 50% of the time. His tantrums occur much less frequently, and when they do occur, he can often be prompted to communicate instead. When Liam has down time, he enjoys playing with most of the toys in his playroom.
December 2024
March 2025
Liam reaches his goals and is discharged from therapy. He is signed up for a mainstream Pre-K program for September and is really excited to go.

Locations
Serving families in New Jersey, North Carolina, and Colorado
Achieve Behavioral Therapy provides expert, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families across three states. Whether you're in the suburbs of New Jersey, the growing communities of North Carolina, or the Denver metro area in Colorado, we bring consistent, high-quality autism therapy to your home, school, or community.
New Jersey
We serve families throughout northern and central New Jersey, including Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties. From in-home therapy to school-based support, Achieve Behavioral Therapy works with families navigating autism services in one of the most resource-rich—and most confusing—states for ABA coverage.
North Carolina
Achieve Behavioral Therapy serves families in Charlotte and surrounding areas including Concord, Huntersville, Matthews, Gastonia, and Lake Norman. North Carolina families benefit from strong autism insurance mandates, and we handle all the authorization and billing so you can focus on your child's progress.
Colorado
We provide ABA therapy throughout the Denver metro area, including Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Littleton, Parker, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, and Lone Tree. Colorado's autism insurance laws ensure coverage for medically necessary ABA therapy, and Achieve Behavioral makes the process seamless from day one.
Not sure if we serve your area? Contact us—we're expanding and may already cover your community.
Insurance and Coverage
Insurance-covered behavioral intervention
Most major insurance plans cover ABA therapy for children with autism. Achieve Behavioral accepts Medicaid and most commercial insurance providers in New Jersey, North Carolina, and Colorado.
How insurance coverage works
ABA therapy is covered under most health insurance plans as a medically necessary treatment for autism spectrum disorder. We verify your benefits, handle prior authorizations, submit claims, and manage reauthorizations so you don't have to navigate the insurance system alone.
What you pay
Out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Within 48 hours of receiving your intake paperwork, we verify your insurance and provide a clear breakdown of any copays, deductibles, or coinsurance so you know exactly what to expect.
