The first steps after receiving an autism diagnosis.
We walk you through every step of the approval, evaluation and set-up process to ensure everything is in place before treatment starts.
1. Request Services
Submit an intake request. One of our team members will contact you within 24 hours to complete an intake screening.
2. Consult With Us
The intake screening is an opportunity for you to get to know us better, learn about our services and for us to verify if the services we provide align with your child’s needs.
3. Verify Benefits
Once we confirm our services fit your child’s needs, we will request your insurance information to verify coverage. We will advocate on your behalf to maximize the benefits allowed by your provider.
4. Obtain Authorization for Initial Assessment
After the consultation, we will request from your insurance company authorization of an initial assessment.
5. Schedule the Assessment
Once the initial assessment is approved, we will reach out to you for scheduling. An assessment can take between 1.5-3 hours and includes an interview with parents, completion of an online assessment and an observation of your child and their interactions.
6. Review Treatment Recommendations
You will meet with your child’s team to review the outcomes of the assessment. We will make recommendations for treatment goals and service hours.
7. Obtain Authorization of Services
We will submit the program plan developed by you and your child’s team along with a request to begin ABA services to your insurance company for authorization.
8. Set The Schedule
While waiting for authorization, you will work with our team to set a therapy schedule based on your child’s availability and recommended treatment hours.
9. Attend Parent Training
As an integral part of your child’s scope of learning, we require parents to commit a few hours a month to participate in reviewing program materials and learning the basics concepts of ABA therapy. The parent training begins before the first therapy session.
10. Begin Therapy!
Sessions include one-on-one high-energy interactions between your child and the therapist as well as time for social interactions with peers. A typical session lasts 3 hours.

Frequently Asked ABA Questions
What is Applied Behavioral Analysis?
How can ABA help?
What is an ABA therapy session like?
Typically, ABA therapy sessions involve high-energy, one-on-one interaction between the child and the therapist.
Each therapy session may involve different activities and skills, but every session is guided by two specific principles of ABA:
- Positive Reinforcement. When our actions result in a positive outcome such as receiving a desired reinforcement like praise, high-fives, or opportunities to play, we’re more likely to repeat those actions. Over time, positive reinforcement encourages behavior change.
- Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence. We’re better able to act in appropriate ways when we understand antecedents (what happens before a behavior occurs) and consequences (what happens in response to the behavior).
