Free brief consultation (see link on contact page) to determine if services are appropriate and a good fit. Since services are currently only provided by a BCBA, please be mindful that client’s requiring more intensive services (30-40 hours/week) will not be accepted at this time. We are more than happy to provide a list of other providers in the area that may be able to meet this need. At this time we are only accepting self pay, however, services typically can be paid for with insurance, and in the future we hope to offer this. Please also be mindful that for insurance to cover services, this requires an autism diagnosis, referral for ABA therapy, and comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

If services are determined to be a good fit, intake will begin. Funding should be reviewed during the brief consultation and determined before intake officially begins. If insurance is being used, this process will start during intake. An intake packet will also be completed and after an assessment will be completed by a BCBA. Depending on the client and funder, any assessment typically takes anywhere from 4-8 hours and is completed over multiple days. The assessment process will include caregiver interview, direct observation, and skills assessment(s).

After intake and the assessment by a BCBA are completed, the assessment will be reviewed with caregiver(s) and client if appropriate. Along with the assessment will be an individualized treatment plan that is based on assessment results and outlines specific behaviors for reduction as well as skill acquisition goals. The amount of hours required per week will be proposed and will include the recommended hours per month for parent training. An assessment will only be completed if we are currently able to provide services, so if you agree with the treatment plan, services can be started as soon you’d like. If we are full and unable to take more clients, you will be informed and put on a waitlist before the intake process begins.
