At Advance Therapy USA, our dedicated team brings high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to families across Iowa.Whether you’re in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City or beyond, we offer evidence-based services designed to improve communication, behaviour, social skills and daily living for children on the autism spectrum.
ABA Therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) uses scientifically supported strategies to understand how behaviours are learned and how new, positive skills can be taught and reinforced. It’s broadly recognized by major organisations and plays a pivotal role in supporting children with autism. Each child receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their strengths, needs and goals.
A team of certified professionals – including Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) – experienced in autism support.
Customised therapy plans that adapt as your child grows and succeeds.
Flexible service delivery: In-home, centre-based and virtual support options available to ensure access throughout Iowa.
Strong family involvement: Parents and caregivers are coached to carry strategies into everyday life, boosting generalisation of skills.
State compliance and awareness: We understand Iowa-specific support systems, including the state’s Autism Support Program and other funding options.
Our therapists visit your home or community environment in Iowa to help your child practise real-life skills like following routines, communicating needs and engaging socially. This setting allows for natural generalisation of learning and strong parent involvement.
For children who thrive in structured social settings, our facility-based programs offer targeted, one-on-one and small group instruction in a controlled environment designed for growth and fun.
We also offer flexible online/telehealth ABA sessions to serve families across rural areas of Iowa or those seeking a hybrid of in-person and virtual care. This ensures consistent access to therapy regardless of geography.
Research and practice show that the earlier ABA therapy begins — especially for children ages 2-6 — the better the outcomes. With our early intervention programs, we focus on foundational skills such as communication, play, social interaction and behavioural regulation. Starting early gives your child the strongest foundation for future success.
Initial Consultation & Assessment – We begin with a thorough evaluation of your child’s strengths, challenges and preferences.
Individualised Treatment Plan – Based on assessment data, a BCBA creates a personalised roadmap of goals and the number of therapy hours needed.
Implementation & Data Tracking – Sessions begin and progress is carefully tracked using data-driven methods to measure and adjust.
Family Coaching & Generalisation – Parents and caregivers are supported with tools and strategies so therapy extends into daily life.
Review & Transition Planning – Ongoing review of progress and planning for next stages, which may include school-integration or independent living goals.
Iowa offers a number of support pathways for ABA therapy. For example, the state’s Autism Support Program (ASP) provides funding for children under 14 who are not covered by Medicaid or private insurance. Health & Human Services+1 We work with major insurance providers and assist families in navigating coverage, authorizations and benefits checks.
Home-based therapy allows learning to occur in a comfortable environment where children naturally interact and practice daily routines. Therapists can focus on real-life skills such as communication, self-care, and play. This setting encourages faster learning, parental participation, and helps children transfer new behaviors into their daily life seamlessly.
Absolutely. Many families choose to combine ABA Therapy with speech, occupational, or physical therapy. Our team often collaborates with other professionals to create a holistic care plan. This integrated approach strengthens learning, helps address multiple developmental areas, and supports overall emotional and behavioral progress in children.
