While You Wait for ABA
“We created this guide because we kept hearing the same thing from families: ‘We just got the diagnosis… now what?’ We’ve walked this road ourselves, as parents and as BCBAs, and we wanted to offer something real, practical, and encouraging for the wait.”
✅ Easy strategies to help your child build skills during the wait
✅ A daily routine that actually works. even if you work full time
✅ Tips to feel more confident, calm, and in control
✅ A checklist of what not to worry about (because Google isn’t always helpful)
This guide was created by two BCBAs (who are also parents). It breaks down what to focus on during the weeks or months before ABA therapy begins, without the jargon or overwhelm.
Inside, you’ll learn:
The 3 biggest mistakes parents make during the wait, and how to avoid them
How to turn everyday routines (like snack time or bedtime) into learning opportunities
Simple ways to encourage communication and play without structured therapy
