Autism Treatment in Pittsburgh, PA
Our autism services in Pittsburgh, PA are clinic-based with a compassionate and personalized approach to help your child build meaningful skills and reach developmental milestones. The experienced Helping Hands Family clinical team supports families across Allegheny County, PA. Our personalized autism treatment plans offer effective and enjoyable learning by factoring in your child’s:
- Developmental stage and learning style
- Strengths, needs, and challenges
- Interests and motivations
- Communication ability and social skills
Through our play-based and goal-oriented approach, children make progress in key areas like:
- Communication and language development
- Motor coordination and movement
- Kindergarten readiness and school prep
- Positive behavior and emotional regulation
Our autism treatment uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which targets multiple skills at once by blending learning with everyday activities. For example, arranging blocks can both build problem-solving abilities and strengthen fine motor skills. With our clinical team’s consistent support, children gain greater independence, confidence, and real-life abilities that improve their overall quality of life.
What Is ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps children with autism learn meaningful skills, improve behavior, and build confidence. By breaking down goals into small, achievable steps, ABA therapy encourages progress through positive reinforcement, repetition, and consistent support.
At Helping Hands Family in Pittsburgh, we personalize ABA therapy to fit each child’s unique needs. Our ABA approach is guided by three core principles:
- Child-Led Sessions – Therapy is led by your child by following their interests and progress to keep them motivated, curious, and involved.
- Play-Based Learning – We use fun games and activities to teach important skills in an engaging and enjoyable way.
- Positive Reinforcement – We encourage both goal acheivement and helpful behaviors by celebrating every success, big or small.
ABA therapy can help children improve communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and independence—leading to lasting progress both in and out of the clinic.
Starting High-Quality Autism Services in Pittsburgh, PA
At Helping Hands Family, we know how important it is for families to find the right autism support. That’s why our ABA therapy is rooted in trust, transparency, and proven results. Our Pittsburgh team is dedicated to helping children with autism thrive through every stage of development and guiding families through the treatment process.

- Identifying the necessary documents needed for intake
- Walking you through insurance approval
- Reviewing your specific insurance coverage
- Answering your questions about ABA therapy
During the intake process, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) does an initial assessment. This helps us better understand your child’s strengths, challenges, motivations, and learning style, so we can build a customized autism treatment plan that supports meaningful and lasting growth.
Once ABA therapy starts, our clinical team puts your child’s growth and your family’s needs first. We believe that the most effective autism therapy is built on collaboration, compassion, and flexibility. Our BCBA’s design the autism treatment plan, while our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) run the sessions. These sessions are one-on-one and play-based.
Here’s what sets our treatment apart:
- Adaptable Autism Treatment Plans – Every child is unique, and so is their care. Our ABA therapy plans are continuously adjusted to match your child’s progress, challenges, and evolving goals.
