You're looking at Kansas City ABA providers and probably noticing they all sound the same. Clinical. Structured. A little intimidating, honestly? Achieving Stars Therapy does things differently.
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design treatment plans around what your child already loves—building blocks, action figures, backyard races, whatever gets them excited. We're talking evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis that doesn't feel like sitting at a table drilling flashcards for hours.
What Actually Happens During Sessions
Your Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) shows up at your house, probably in the playroom or kitchen. They'll follow your child's lead. If your kid wants to crash into couch cushions, we're teaching turn-taking and body awareness through that. If they're obsessed with trucks, we're building language and social skills around that interest.
This is play-based ABA therapy—rooted in science, delivered through natural interactions. No sterile clinic rooms. Your living room works just fine.
Fast Starts Across Kansas City Metro
Most Kansas City ABA providers have 3-6 month waitlists. We don't. Once your intake packet comes back and insurance approves (usually 1-2 weeks), therapy starts. We serve families throughout Kansas including Kansas City, Overland Park, Wichita, Lenexa, and Olathe.
Timeline from diagnosis to first session:
- Week 1: Insurance authorization submitted
- Week 2-3: BCBA assessment scheduled
- Week 3-4: Treatment plan finalized, RBT assigned
- Week 4: First therapy session in your home
Why Kansas City Parents Choose Us
Clinician-Led Care
Every treatment plan is tailored by a BCBA to your child's specific needs. We're members of the ABA Coalition of Kansas and follow BACB ethical guidelines religiously.
Weekly Parent Guidance
Parent guidance happens weekly or every other week, not once a quarter. Your BCBA texts back. Session notes go straight to your portal—you can review them that same evening if you want.
Natural Environment Learning
We work in your home or at school, supporting kiddos in their natural environment. Skills learned at the kitchen table transfer to the backyard, the classroom, and family dinners.
Our clinical team includes Cassandra Mathias (M.S., BCBA with 10+ years in autism care) and Samantha Seidenberger (M.Ed., BCBA, dual-certified in special education). They're not managing 40 kids. They know your child's name, your dog's name, and exactly why Tuesday afternoons are tough.
Medicaid & Insurance Coverage
If you have Medicaid through Kansas—whether KanCare, Aetna Better Health of Kansas, Sunflower Health Plan, or UnitedHealthcare Community Plan—you're likely covered 100%. No copays, no deductibles for ABA therapy services.
Our authorization team handles the paperwork so you don't have to translate medical codes at 11pm. Free benefits checks return in 24-48 hours.
