Admissions Requirements

---

We offer outpatient pediatric ABA therapeutic services to children and adolescents ages 2.5 to 21. 

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare insurance companies and accept only those PPO plans. 

We require a formal diagnosis of Autism with presenting level from a licensed medical doctor, neuropsychologist, psychiatrist, or other doctorate-level provider specializing in the evaluation and diagnosis of DSM-5 developmental, learning, and behavior disorders specific to children and adolescents. 

We require a family interview with one of our BCBA practitioners before being accepted into our program. Interviews conducted at our clinic are 100% free of charge. During the interview process, a BCBA practitioner will provide the family with a tour of our clinic, followed by a meeting to review and discuss all relevant patient history. Typically, this includes all medical and behavioral health history, school and outside services, family concerns and goals for the future, consent and assent, and our clinical requirements for caregiver involvement. Interviews are highly valued at our practice, as they allow us to get to know one another and determine if our program meets your family’s needs. If we do not, we will work to help find a provider better suited to your family. 

Once accepted into our program, we assist our families with the entire intake process before ABA therapy ever begins. Typically, this includes verifying insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs, requesting treatment preauthorization, establishing interprofessional collaboration with other providers, establishing community supports available outside our practice, and coordinating treatment schedules. Some families also request concierge services during this time, which are available as needed.
