What Families in Nebraska Say About Heartwise Support

I want to share how much I appreciate Heartwise and everyone there. They have been very patient with my decisions. Currently, I am working with William, and he has been amazing. He is patient, knowledgeable, and I have noticed a remarkable change in my son’s behavior since we started with Heartwise. William is also working with the school to ensure everyone is on the same page. The school has noticed the positive impact for ethan and has allowed ABA in the school. Jeanine and Kate are also wonderful. Jeanine, in particular, has a child who is autistic, which makes her representation of the company even more meaningful. I appreciate everyone of you.

Ashley Charles

We love HeartWise Support. As a military family, it is hard to find therapy companies willing to work with Tricare and all the headaches that come with it. HeartWise Support has gone above and beyond to work with us and navigate the difficulties that come with being a Tricare family. They are so patient, knowledgeable and kind. We feel so well taken care of and feel like our children and family honestly matter to HeartWise Support. That’s something you won’t get anywhere else.

Ella

I really appreciate that HeartWise has so many services under one roof– makes it easier for parents to coordinate, and for the professionals to communicate and make sure that the plan of care is followed and adjusted to the child’s needs. My nephew has made great progress by being able to participate in so many services, and it has made a huge difference for his family.

Kaia Ridge

Heartwise Support in Omaha has been fantastic to work with so far! They have been so helpful every step of the way for our family. ABA was a scary decision for us as it all seemed so overwhelming and the staff and therapist at Heartwise have made the process so much easier than we ever expected. They care about the families they help and work to make sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the journey. We are so grateful for their support for our kiddo and we look forward to continuing to work with them!

Sarah Erickson

Everyone I’ve spoken to, seen and worked with her so far has been nothing short of amazing for my son AND myself.It’s so hard to pick a place to send a child, period, but especially when yours has communication difficulties or differences. It can be almost paralyzing because of that alone, but then add in the pressure from outside sources (doctors, partners, your friends, whoever) and the overabundance of ABA places cropping up in the area (who mostly seem to care and do less), and it becomes almost impossible.

I’m so glad to have found these humans and this place, and that they’ve had the patience and grace to deal with my own difficulties making decisions and acting on them, as well as the care and respect they’ve shown my son and myself.

Kylee Lewis

Highly recommend HeartWise Support ABA!
They provide top-notch ABA therapy services with compassion and dedication. Clearly committed to making a positive impact in their community!

Ayelet Geiger

I’ve had such a positive experience with the team at Heartwise. They are truly compassionate, caring, and experts when it comes to ABA Therapy. Kate Kavan always brings a wonderful, positive energy – you rarely see her without a smile! Jeannie, the Clinical Director, combines her deep expertise with her personal experience as a mother, making her incredibly patient, kind, respectful, and professional. Lauren and William also stand out, bringing their unique skills and dedication to the children they work with every day. If you’re looking for an organization that takes a caring, holistic approach to ABA Therapy and supporting children with Autism, Heartwise is the organization to call. Just a really great group of people.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Omaha

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a research-backed therapy that helps children with autism develop skills in communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and daily living. It focuses on teaching practical, meaningful behaviors through individualized and monitored programs.

ABA therapy can be delivered in multiple settings depending on your child’s needs:

  • In-home: Comfort and consistency in a familiar environment
  • In-clinic: Structured therapy at our Omaha clinic, the only Nebraska location with a full clinic
  • School-based: Support within the classroom to build learning, social, and functional skills

ABA therapy is led by licensed BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) and delivered by trained therapists to ensure safety, effectiveness, and support for your child.

Yes. ABA is evidence-based and delivered in a supportive, child-centered manner. All programs suit children’s abilities, comfort level, and goals.

ABA has been shown to improve communication, social skills, independence, and daily living skills for children with autism. Progress is measurable and regularly reviewed to ensure meaningful outcomes.

The duration depends on your child’s goals and needs. Some children benefit from a few hours per week, while others may require more intensive programs. Your BCBA will create a plan and adjust as needed.

Sessions are engaging, practical, and goal-focused. Activities focus on communication, social skills, self-care, and emotional regulation, and are guided by a BCBA and delivered by trained therapists.

Many families use Medicaid, Aetna, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Molina, and other major providers. Heartwise Support helps verify your coverage before services begin, reducing financial barriers to care.
