Getting started

Is your child showing

signs
of autism?
You know your child best. If something feels different about how they play, speak or respond, an early conversation is worth having — and it costs you nothing.

Not sure where to start?

If your child isn’t yet diagnosed, our team can point you to evaluators in the Lancaster, PA area and explain what the process looks like — no diagnosis needed to talk to us.

Talk to a care coordinator

Early signs to watch for

Limited eye contact, delayed speech, repetitive play, strong reactions to sound or texture, or difficulty with transitions and new routines.
See what ABA addresses

Why ages 18 months to 6 years matter

Early intervention is when skills build fastest, and the earlier a child starts, the more ground they can cover before school age.

      Parent training in every plan

      FAQ

      Questions about ABA

      therapy in
      Lancaster, PA

      Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based autism therapy. ABA teaches children new skills by breaking goals into small, achievable steps and using positive reinforcement to build on each success. For children in Lancaster, PA, our ABA autism therapy focuses on communication, social development, behavior and daily independence — all delivered through child-led, play-based sessions at our clinics.

      Helping Hands Family has two ABA therapy clinics in Lancaster:

      • Lancaster West: 101 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA
      • Lancaster East: 1811 Olde Homestead Lane, Suite 101, Lancaster, PA

      Both are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, with Saturday by appointment. Call Admissions or submit a form online, and our Care Coordination team will help you choose the clinic that works best for your family.

      ABA therapy is most effective when it begins early, and children can typically start as toddlers. Once your child has an autism diagnosis and a doctor’s order, our Lancaster team works to begin services as quickly as possible, there is no reason to wait to reach out.

       

      No. You can reach out at any point, including before an evaluation. Our team can talk through what you’re seeing and help you find an evaluator in the Lancaster area. A diagnosis is required before insurance will cover ABA therapy, and we’ll help you navigate that process.

      A Care Coordinator will follow up, usually the same day, to learn more about your child, answer your questions, and verify your insurance. From there, we’ll schedule an assessment with a BCBA at whichever Lancaster clinic is most convenient for you.
