Intake

The intake process involves a discussion about our policies and procedures and how our clinic operates along with gathering certain pieces of information including your child’s demographics, insurance information, physician referral and scripts for ABA services, and completing a brief over the phone questionnaire. From there, you will receive a HIPAA secure email to log into your new client intake paperwork to complete before the start of your child’s evaluation.

Insurance

Our Team will contact your insurance carrier to find out if you have coverage for ABA therapy services. If your insurance benefits include ABA therapy services, we will receive an authorization for your child’s assessment. CLICK HERE for a list of current payors with whom we contract.

Scheduling

A skilled BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) will call you to schedule a day and time to begin the assessment process of your child’s current functioning level in the areas of communication, social skills, adaptive daily living, and behavior.

Assessment

Once the assessment is completed, the BCBA will create an individualized treatment plan for your child. No two treatment plans are alike. We develop a customized treatment plan that helps your child meet his/her goals and maximize his/her full potential.

Treatment

After the treatment plan is developed, your child will be assigned a trained ABA therapist which will work with your child on the goals prescribed in the treatment plan.

Parent Training

Your BCBA will meet with you either weekly or bi-monthly to discuss goals and progress for your child. You will be introduced to behavioral principles, including (but not limited to):

Functions of behavior.
The ABC's of behavior (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence).
Using antecedent strategies (i.e., daily schedules) to reduce problem behaviors.
Reinforcement v. Bribery - how reinforcement can stregthen desired behaviors and teach new skills.
Teaching functional communication to replace problem behaviors using systematic reinforcement.
Learning how to build play and social skills.
Exploring the use of extinction (planned ignoring) to reduce problem behavior and how to pair with reinforcement to teach alternative communication skills.
Generalization and maintenance strategies to consolidate positive behavior changes and generalize newly learned skills.
