Picky eater or something more? 🤔

Gagging on certain textures, trouble chewing, a very short list of foods, or fear of eating after reflux or choking can all be signs to talk with a professional. Swipe to see what feeding therapy actually looks like, from the food ladder to what happens at home.

Bista is a nonprofit pediatric therapy provider with feeding, speech, OT, and ABA under one roof. Call 602-926-7200 or visit https://www.bistacenter.org/feeding-therapy/

When people hear "ABA," they often think of sitting at a table. But a lot of what we work on at Bista looks a lot like play.

Social skills are things like:
🤝 Taking turns
👋 Saying hi (and bye)
🙋 Asking for help
🧩 Joining a game that's already going
💬 Keeping a conversation going
😊 Noticing how someone else is feeling

None of these come automatically for every kid, and that's okay. Our BCBAs break them into small, doable steps and practice them in real moments, with lots of encouragement along the way.

Bista is a nonprofit, and our team of ABA, speech, and occupational therapists works together so these skills carry over into the classroom, the playground, and home. We have clinics in Tempe, Phoenix, Chandler, and Tucson, Arizona and a clinic in Urbandale, Iowa.

Curious what this could look like for your child? Give us a call at 602-926-7200 or book a free consultation at bistacenter.org

If you've ever wondered what ABA therapy actually involves, you're not alone. It's one of the most common conversations we have with families.

We put together answers to some of the questions we hear most: what ABA actually looks like day-to-day, whether insurance typically covers it, how progress gets tracked, and how much parents are involved along the way.

Bista is a nonprofit clinic, and one thing that sets us apart is our multidisciplinary model meaning your child's ABA team can coordinate directly with speech, occupational, and feeding therapists under one roof, so care doesn't happen in silos.

If you have a question about your child specifically, give us a call at 602-926-7200. We're glad to talk it through.

9 signs that can show up before age 2. Every child is different, and these signs on their own isn't a diagnosis. But if several sound familiar, a conversation and diagnostic evaluation are the next real steps. If you have questions about what this process looks like or different therapies, Bista is a nonprofit that is happy to help. We provide ABA, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies in Arizona, Iowa, and Georiga. Visit bistacenter.org or call 602-926-7200 for more information

"1 in 31 kids" sounds like a stat. But it's really just... a lot of kids. Your neighbor's kid. Your coworker's kid. Maybe your kid.

Autism is a spectrum meaning that it is unique to each person. Some kids need extra support with communication. Some are wired to notice every sound in the room. Some need consistent routine. It's all information about how to support them well.

We're a nonprofit with clinics across Arizona and Iowa doing exactly that with ABA, speech, OT, and feeding therapy. Learn more at bistacenter.org

Cost is one of the biggest barriers between a family and the ABA their child needs, and figuring out how to actually pay for it can feel like its own full-time job on top of everything else. The good news: there are more paths to coverage than most parents realize.
