ABA Therapy in Oklahoma City
Helping kids connect, play, and grow
Every child deserves the chance to communicate, connect, and grow with confidence. At Speech Pathway, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) provide individualized ABA therapy for children from birth to age 21, right alongside our speech and occupational therapy teams.
What is ABA therapy?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. In plain terms, it is a way of teaching that breaks big skills into small, manageable steps and celebrates progress along the way.
ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement. That means we notice and reward the skills your child is working on, so your child is more likely to use them again. Every program is individualized. Your child’s BCBA builds goals around your child’s strengths, needs, and what matters most to your family.
If your child has an autism diagnosis and you are looking for autism therapy for kids in the OKC area, ABA may be a good fit. We are happy to talk through your questions.
Communication
Expressing wants and needs, following directions, and connecting with others.
Daily living
Building independence in everyday routines at home and in the community.
Social skills
Taking turns, sharing attention, and building relationships with family and peers.
Play skills
Exploring, engaging, and enjoying play with others.
Why families choose Speech Pathway
We believe in family-centered care, which means we involve the whole family in your child’s treatment plan.
Speech, OT, and ABA under one roof
Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA therapy all happen at our clinic. That makes it easier for your child’s team to coordinate care and work toward the same goals.
Our clinic is led by Clinical Director Emily Hathaway, M.S., CCC-SLP, who has been practicing speech-language pathology for 16+ years.
Led by BCBAs
ABA care is led by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts: Lauren Gragg, Kent T. Hathaway, and Jasmine Thomas-Adams.
Birth to age 21
We serve children and young adults from birth to age 21 at our clinic on the northwest side of Oklahoma City, conveniently located off 122nd and Council.
How to get started with ABA
Our evaluation process helps us understand your child’s strengths and needs so we can build the right plan together.
Before you begin: To start ABA, your child needs a psychological evaluation from the last 3 years that includes an autism diagnosis.
Complete our intake form
Visit our Get Started page and fill out the intake form. Have photos of the front and back of your insurance cards ready. Questions along the way? Call our front desk at 405-603-6622.
Parent Interview
You’ll meet in person with one of our BCBAs to talk about your child and share your questions, concerns, and goals.
Direct Evaluation with your child
Your child has a separate in-person visit with the BCBA. The evaluation includes one or more ABA assessments selected to evaluate your child across ABA treatment domains, such as communication, daily living skills, and social skills.
Evaluation Report and Treatment Plan
After the evaluation, your BCBA writes a report and an individualized treatment plan for your child.
SoonerCare ABA and private insurance
We work with families with or without SoonerCare/TEFRA. Once you complete the intake form, we will contact you about your coverage.
SoonerCare / TEFRA
SoonerCare requires prior authorization for ABA services.
Private insurance
Families using private insurance may have higher copays, so it can help to check your plan’s ABA benefits ahead of time.
What families say
★★★★★
“When my child first started going for speech therapy he was unable to verbally express his wants and needs. He’s now receiving both speech and ABA services and his communication skills have improved drastically… If you are second guessing on ABA services or any other services they offer I’m here to tell you just take the leap. You will not regret it.”Alejandra O. · Google review
★★★★★
“Speech Pathway has provided a breath of fresh air for my family. Anyone struggling to find ‘just the right place’ for their child’s needs is very very hard, if not, down right impossible. The compassion, understanding, and dedication given by all especially: Whitney- RBT, Lauren - BCBA, and Michael- SLP are unparalleled!!!”Andrea B. · Google review
