 Real-World Skills for More Independence

ABA for teens focuses on developing everyday life and social skills—whether that’s managing routines, building communication, or preparing for adulthood.

Support That Respects Their Age and Voice

Therapy is adapted to be age-appropriate, collaborative, and respectful. Teens are included in goal-setting and encouraged to advocate for themselves.

 Flexible, Private, and From Home

Teenagers are sensitive to privacy and may resist “going to therapy.” Telehealth makes it easier for them to engage consistently, without stigma or disruption to their routine.

Accepting over 100 policies

Our team of advocates work to help you access your ABA benefits from payors across 45 states.

15 hour per week

We’re looking for committed parents who have the ability to help support at least 15 hours per week with their child in focused, guided learning.

Why Telehealth?

Receiving daily ABA without disruption

Work alongside your online clinical team for 10-20 hours of sessions weekly. In each session the parent must be in the household while the teenager can interact directly with the BT or BCBA. That privacy is important to building a thriving relationship.

Get the care you need

Forta empowers you to be part of the process, giving you tools and knowledge to help your child thrive through ongoing training.
Improve behavior

Reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns.

Develop new social skills

Take steps to develop social, learning, and communication skills with your child.

Build independence

Developing the confidence that your child can increase independence is our shared north star.

Family powered autism therapy

Just listen to what our families have to say.
I’ve been with them for a month. It’s the best decision I ever made.
— Audrey, with son James
Absolutely every parent should have this training.
— Jamie, with son Theodore
This training at least gives [parents] a better understanding of your child’s needs and challenges.
— Rose, with daughters Isabell and Emma
The parent training has already changed the way I think to make me a better teacher for my child. She has grown leaps and bounds this year academically.
— Jenna, with daughter Paisley
If we continue to grow how we have in just a month with Forta, I know he will be able to work independently on his own.
— Andrew, with son William
You will get all the guidance, training and help [you need]. Highly recommended.
