ABA Is Not One Size Fits All

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be one of the most effective tools for helping children with autism—but it’s often misunderstood. In this episode of The Autism Mom Coach, host Lisa Candera talks with Alisha Simpson-Watt, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, and Licensed Behavior Analyst who leads Collaborative ABA Services in Middletown, Connecticut.

Alisha explains why ABA therapy should never be a one-size-fits-all approach. She shares how modern ABA focuses on individualized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each child and family. As both a professional and an autism mom, Alisha offers a compassionate, real-world perspective on what quality ABA looks like today—and how the field has evolved toward trauma-informed, collaborative care.

Listeners will learn:

  • What ABA therapy is and how it supports behavior change and skill building
  • Common misconceptions about ABA and how the science has advanced
  • The importance of parent training and collaboration in every treatment plan
  • Key questions to ask when choosing an ABA provider
  • Why it’s never too late to start ABA therapy—and why parents deserve grace in the process

If you’re an autism parent navigating the world of ABA, this episode will help you feel more informed, confident, and empowered to advocate for your child.
