Golden Steps ABA is a provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that helps children with autism build everyday skills through one-on-one, play-based intervention. It delivers care in three settings—the child's home, its own clinics, and schools—pairing Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) with supervising Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), and also offers autism screening and diagnostic evaluations for families with children roughly ages 2 to 12. Its clinics feature individual therapy rooms and sensory-friendly materials, home sessions focus on daily routines, and the company coordinates insurance and onboarding while accepting most major plans, including Medicaid. What sets Golden Steps ABA apart is its family-centered model that combines science-backed therapy with play and positions BCBAs as ongoing support for parents. The goal is to help children develop independence and real-world skills.
