ABA Therapy for Teens | More Words. More Calm. Independence.
ODD can feel exhausting — constant arguing, refusal, or outbursts disrupt daily life. At Achieving Stars, our in-home ABA therapy helps children with ODD learn respectful communication, emotional regulation, and positive behaviors, while giving families the tools to restore calm and connection.
Finding the Breakthroughs That Matter Most
As a parent, you’re not looking for generic therapy—you’re looking for progress that changes daily life. You want to hear more words, see fewer meltdowns, and know your teen is building the skills to stand on their own. That’s exactly what Achieving Stars Therapy is here to deliver.
What Parents Want Most
From listening to parents, here’s what matters most—and what our team is trained to deliver:
- More Words, More Communication
From single words to full conversations, we help your teen connect with you and others in meaningful ways.
“She went from 5 words to over 100 in less than 3 months.” - More Calm at Home
Gentle, structured strategies reduce aggression, self-harm, and meltdowns.
“My kid no longer has to wear a helmet… ABA changed our lives.” - Life Skills that Build Independence
We teach your teen daily self-care, hygiene, and routines—so they can do more without you.
“He’s trending toward independence and living his life with minimal supervision.” - School & Social Wins
We help with classroom focus, transitions, and friendships—building confidence for both school and life.
“Thanks to years of ABA, my kids now attend a regular school.”
These challenges are not your fault — and they’re not your child’s fault either. ODD behaviors are signs that your child needs new tools to manage emotions and respond to boundaries.
