Caregivers 

ABA at UTSA is consistently recruiting families for research projects. All of the services we provide to families are completely voluntary, and free or reduced-cost. Below is some information about the projects happening right now, and how to get involved. If you have any questions about how to get your family involved, please reach out to the project managers, or email us at aba.utsa@gmail.com.

Early Intervention ABA

Project PLAAY is recruiting children who are "at-risk" for autism, ages 6-36 months old. The PLAAY program is 15 weeks long, 2x a week for an hour. Intervention focuses on communication, social skills, and challenging behavior.  There is also significant caregiver training embedded throughout participation. 
​

ABA via Telehealth  

The BOAT project is recruiting families with children diagnosed or "at-risk" for autism of any age. The BOAT project will be 2-3 ABA sessions with a BCBA via telehealth (i.e. video conferencing). BOAT focuses on brief assessment and intervention for the child, and significant caregiver training for generalization and maintenance. 
​

On-Site ABA Therapy

The SAABA clinic is now accepting applications for on-site ABA therapy for children with autism between the ages of 3 and 16 years old. Sessions are 2 times per week for 3.5 hours. The SAABA clinic is a collaboration between UTSA, Autism Treatment Center (ATC), and the Children's Hospital of San Antonio (CHofSA). 
​
