Hand over Hand’s
Approach to ABA Therapy
Hand over Hand’s centers operate out of dedicated spaces within private preschools, allowing us to provide individualized and high quality clinical care within a typical childcare setting.
Hand over Hand pioneered this approach after identifying a gap in the market between self-contained ABA centers and individual therapists shadowing children in schools. Our integrated approach has offered families and their children a welcoming and natural environment with excellent clinical quality for 10+ years.
With the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), children have the opportunity to learn from and interact with peers in real-world settings.
The Hand Over Hand Difference
Hand Over Hand has established preschool partnerships so that your child and your family’s experience doesn’t feel any different just because there is an autism diagnosis. We believe meaningful progress happens through collaboration, compassion, and consistency. Our team works closely with parents, caregivers, and educators to support each child’s growth, breaking down complex skills into achievable steps so progress feels steady and encouraging.
Quality of Care
Experienced therapists and BCBAs deliver individualized, evidence-based therapy focused on measurable progress.
Customized Support
With services available in our centers, at home and daycare settings, we make care easier to fit into your daily life.
Personalized Roadmap
While every child’s path looks different, our commitment and care remain the same – to create a tailored plan that supports development and progress. Our primary goal is to meet your child’s potential.
Our Approach to ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated, evidence-based therapy most commonly used to support individuals with autism. It focuses on improving a child’s ability to socialize, communicate, and learn by identifying specific behaviors and reinforcing progress in a structured, measurable way.
At Hand Over Hand, our approach to ABA therapy is inclusive, individualized, and collaborative. We believe meaningful progress is achieved by thoughtfully balancing evidence-based strategies with a deep, holistic understanding of each child.
Because the goal isn’t just progress in therapy, it’s progress at home, in school, and in the world around them.

What Our Parents Are Saying
Getting Started With Hand Over Hand
Your journey with Hand Over Hand begins with a personal conversation. Our Family Liaison takes the time to connect with you, learn about your child, and answer any questions you may have before anything else begins.
Once we have connected, we will guide you through the necessary paperwork so that the logistics are handled quickly and easily. Our goal is to make this step as simple as possible so services can move forward without delay.
Before we begin, we contact your insurance provider to obtain approval to assess your child. Once authorized, we can move forward with scheduling the in-person portion of the assessment.
Our clinical team spends dedicated time with your child conducting an in-person assessment, while also meeting with your family to understand your goals and priorities. From there, we develop individualized goals and a personalized treatment plan built specifically around your child.
Once the treatment plan is complete, we submit everything to your insurance provider for authorization, handling the process on your behalf so there are no unnecessary delays before therapy begins.
With all the pieces in place, it is time for the most exciting step. Your child begins therapy and your family becomes part of the Hand Over Hand community.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if ABA therapy is right for my child?
If your child struggles with communication, behavior, social skills, or daily routines, ABA therapy offers structured, individualized support. We begin with an assessment and in-depth conversation to understand your child’s needs and determine the best path forward together.
What makes our ABA centers different?
Our innovative and inclusive model fosters limitless opportunities for growth. By integrating within preschool environments, we are able to thoughtfully consider each child’s development through individualized planning, authentic peer interaction, and participation in age-appropriate activities. Most importantly, children practice skills that naturally generalize to everyday life. Highly personalized and rooted in compassionate care, everything we do is centered on empowering children and supporting their families.
What makes our approach special?
We prioritize your child’s wellbeing. Hand Over Hand practices naturalistic teaching and utilizes play-based instruction to put your child first, not their diagnosis.
How involved are parents in the process?
We put families first. Parents and caregivers are an essential part of a child’s progress, and we pride ourselves on the relationships we develop with them. We provide ongoing communication, guidance, and training so you feel confident supporting your child outside of sessions. You’re not just included, you’re a key part of the team.
What does progress look like, and how is it measured?
Hand over Hand tracks progress through quantitative and qualitative data that is taken during all therapy sessions. Parents receive full access to their children’s programming and data, allowing them to track their child’s development over time.
