1:1 Therapy

One therapist, one child, one plan built entirely around your child. Our 1:1 ABA therapy is the foundation of everything we do at Superstar ABA Therapy Center — focused, individualized support that helps children with autism ages 2–7 build communication, play, and independence.

​

What is 1:1 ABA therapy?

In a one-on-one session, a trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works directly with your child, following a plan designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Because the attention is undivided, your child gets more practice, faster feedback, and a pace set to their needs — not a group's.

​

Who it's for

Young children who are just beginning their autism therapy journey, or who benefit from focused support before joining group settings. Every plan starts with a developmental assessment so we teach the skills that matter most for your child right now.

​

How we teach it

We break each skill into small, achievable steps, teach with positive reinforcement and gentle prompting, then gradually fade support so skills become your child's own. Our team collects data every session, and your BCBA reviews progress and adjusts the plan continually.

​

Skills we work on in 1:1 sessions

​

• Communication and language — requesting, labeling, following directions

• Play and social foundations

• Attending, waiting, and tolerating transitions

• Reducing challenging behaviors with positive, function-based strategies

• Early learning and pre-academic readiness

• Self-care and daily-living skills

 

What to expect at our center

Sessions take place in our purpose-built El Cajon clinic — with play areas, therapy rooms, and peers nearby for social practice as your child is ready. You'll receive regular updates, and our parent training helps you carry skills home.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

What's the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?

A BCBA is a certified analyst who designs and oversees your child's program; an RBT is the trained therapist who delivers it one-on-one under BCBA supervision.

​

How many hours a week does my child need?

It depends on your child's assessment and goals. We'll recommend a schedule and explain the reasoning.

​

Will my child always be in 1:1?

Many children grow into small-group and group-play settings over time — we build toward that when they're ready.

​

Is it covered by insurance?

​

Yes, in most cases. We accept most major insurance plans and we verify your specific coverage before your child starts.
