Getting started is simple. A call to our intake specialist kicks off the process, walking you through the necessary paperwork and scheduling an initial appointment with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This first visit typically lasts one to two hours, includes both the child and their guardian, and is usually arranged within 45 days of completed paperwork.

Following the appointment, the BCBA puts together a personalized treatment plan, reviews it with the family to ensure it’s the right fit, and submits it to the insurance provider. Your child’s treatment team is assembled during this time, and once insurance approval comes through, staffing is confirmed and services can begin. From first call to first session, the process typically takes around four months.

1. In many cases, yes! For children over the age of 5, we can offer behavioral support directly in the school environment where permitted. Private schools are generally more open to outside providers, while public schools may have limitations. Our BCBAs are also available to attend IEP meetings and conferences, providing guidance around any behavioral challenges your child may be facing.
2. For families seeking an additional layer of support, advocacy services are available at an out-of-pocket cost. Contact our intake coordinator to find out more.

Absolutely! Children over the age of 5 receiving ABA therapy can participate in our social skills groups, offered every night of the week. Those enrolled in our Early STEPS early intervention program experience a rich blend of individual therapy, group play, and group activities tailored to their current abilities.

Our older clients also get the chance to connect with peers out in the community — working on age-appropriate skills in real-world settings that are both meaningful and enjoyable.
