Our ABA Therapy Center Serving Moore Families

Aligning Hope provides center-based ABA therapy for children with autism throughout Moore and the south Oklahoma City metro from our clinic at 609 S Kelly Ave Suite A2 in Edmond. Moore is one of the most resilient and tightly knit communities in Oklahoma, a city of approximately 62,000 residents that has rebuilt and grown stronger through decades of challenge. The families here are exactly the kind Aligning Hope was built to serve: people who take their children’s development seriously, who do not accept mediocre options, and who deserve a provider that meets that standard.

Moore sits in Cleveland County along the I-35 corridor between Oklahoma City and Norman, making it one of the most accessible communities in the OKC metro. Our Edmond clinic is approximately 30 to 35 minutes from most Moore locations via I-35 north. We serve children ages 18 months through 12 years and accept SoonerCare and all major private insurance plans.

We offer center-based ABA therapy in a play-based, positive environment where children build communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, develop social connections, and gain the daily living independence that makes life more manageable for the whole family.

Research published by the National Institutes of Health found that children in center-based ABA settings achieve on average 100% more learning per hour than children in home-based models, because consistent environments, trained supervision, and peer interaction all compound. At Aligning Hope, Moore families get that center-based advantage without a six-month waitlist.

ABA Therapy and Moore Public Schools

Moore Public Schools is one of the largest suburban school districts in Oklahoma, serving approximately 24,000 students across Moore and south OKC. The district has rebuilt and expanded significantly since the 2013 tornado devastated several of its elementary campuses, including Plaza Towers and Briarwood. That rebuilding effort produced some of the most modern school facilities in the state and a district community that is deeply invested in the wellbeing of its children.

Moore Public Schools provides special education services for students with autism under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including IEP development, autism support classrooms, related services such as speech and occupational therapy, and behavioral support.

For Moore families whose children receive both ABA therapy at Aligning Hope and special education services through Moore Public Schools, coordination between the two programs makes a measurable difference in outcomes. When your child’s ABA therapy goals and their IEP goals are aligned, and when the behavioral strategies used in the clinic are consistent with what their classroom team is doing, children generalize skills faster and maintain them more reliably across settings.

Naomi and our clinical team work with Moore Public Schools teams to share assessment data, align treatment goals, and provide behavioral consultation when needed. With your written authorization we communicate directly with your child’s school team so that both programs are working in the same direction.

If your child is approaching kindergarten entry at a Moore school, contact us at least six months before the projected start date to begin the coordination process. Kindergarten transitions are one of the highest-risk periods for children with autism and early planning makes a significant difference.

Children in early intervention typically receive higher hours, especially in the first year of treatment.

What age can my child start ABA therapy?

We provide ABA therapy for children starting at 18 months of age. Early intervention beginning before age 5 produces the strongest long-term outcomes. Our Edmond clinic serves Moore children through age 10.

How much does ABA therapy cost in Moore with insurance?

Is there a waitlist for ABA therapy near Moore?

Aligning Hope works to minimize wait times for Moore families. Call us at (405) 367-3171 to check current availability. Our intake team responds within one business day and we frequently have openings for new families in the Moore and south OKC metro corridor.

Does my child need an autism diagnosis to start ABA therapy?

Yes. Most insurance plans including SoonerCare require a formal autism diagnosis before authorizing ABA therapy. If your child has not yet been evaluated, we can connect you with diagnostic resources in the OKC metro including OU Health, INTEGRIS Health, and developmental pediatricians serving the south metro area.

Will ABA therapy coordinate with my child’s Moore Public Schools IEP?

Yes. Our BCBAs work with Moore Public Schools teams to align ABA therapy goals with your child’s IEP. With your written authorization we share assessment data and treatment plan information with your child’s school team so that strategies are consistent across clinic and classroom settings.

How do I get an autism diagnosis near Moore, OK?

Autism evaluations for Moore families are available through OU Health Sciences Center, INTEGRIS Health, Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, and developmental pediatricians across the OKC metro. Your child’s primary care physician can provide a referral. Once you have a diagnosis contact Aligning Hope at (405) 367-3171 to begin enrollment.

What is a BCBA and what do they do?

A BCBA, or Board Certified Behavior Analyst, is a licensed clinician who specializes in Applied Behavior Analysis. BCBAs design, supervise, and monitor ABA therapy programs. They hold a minimum of a master’s degree and pass a national certification exam through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. In Oklahoma, BCBAs must also hold a state LBA license.

What is the difference between center-based and in-home ABA therapy?

Center-based ABA takes place at a clinic, providing a structured environment with peer interaction and consistent BCBA supervision. Research from the National Institutes of Health shows center-based models produce 100% more learning per hour on average than home-based models. Aligning Hope provides center-based ABA from our Edmond clinic serving the Moore and south OKC metro.

How long does it take to start therapy after contacting Aligning Hope?

From first contact to therapy start typically takes two to four weeks, covering insurance verification, scheduling your child’s assessment with Naomi, and finalizing their treatment plan. Our intake team responds within one business day.

What is the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?

A BCBA designs and supervises treatment plans. An RBT, or Registered Behavior Technician, implements those plans with your child during sessions under BCBA supervision. Both credentials are issued by the BACB and require a national exam. In Oklahoma BCBAs also hold a state LBA license.

Can ABA therapy help with challenging behaviors in my child?

Yes. ABA therapy is highly effective for reducing challenging behaviors including tantrums, aggression, self-injury, and non-compliance. Naomi and our clinical team identify the underlying function of each behavior and build individualized strategies to reduce it while teaching positive replacement behaviors.
