Connecticut families have choices when it comes to autism care. Here’s what sets Helping Hands Family apart.
Treatment at our Shelton clinic begins with a formal assessment by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, who designs a personalized plan and revisits it regularly. Data collected in every session informs when to adjust goals, shift techniques, or introduce new skills, ensuring your child’s care stays aligned with their development.
Membership in the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP) holds HHF to a defined standard of ethical practice and clinical quality. For Connecticut families evaluating providers, CASP membership is a meaningful signal that your child’s care is grounded in professional accountability.
Outcomes at HHF are tracked from the first session. Across our clinics, children in the first six months of ABA therapy show an average of:
At HHF’s Shelton clinic, ABA therapy is a team effort. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs and oversees your child’s treatment plan, while a team of four or more Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) delivers direct, one-on-one sessions under that BCBA’s supervision. Your family stays in consistent communication with the whole team as therapy progresses.
Every plan is built around three core elements:
The case for early intervention is one of the strongest in developmental research. Children who begin ABA therapy between ages 2 and 6, when the brain is forming connections most rapidly, consistently show greater gains in communication, behavior, and social development than those who start later. Connecticut families with younger children may also be moving on from the state’s Birth-to-Three early intervention program, and our team can help make that shift into clinic-based ABA therapy. Starting autism services in CT early helps children develop:
Connecticut requires insurance plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy under the state’s autism insurance mandate, which means most families pay little to nothing out of pocket with an in-network plan. HHF is in-network with most major plans accepted at our Shelton clinic:
We can also offer some out-of-network options. Our care coordination team verifies your benefits and walks you through your coverage before therapy begins, so there are no surprises.
Our Shelton clinic serves families throughout Connecticut and the greater Fairfield and New Haven County area. Additional Connecticut locations may be forthcoming. View all HHF locations to find the clinic closest to your family.
