How to Begin ABA Therapy

Here’s our 6-step process to enroll your child in ABA therapy with confidence:

Step 1: Submit Your Inquiry

  • Simply fill out our short inquiry form — it takes less than 2 minutes.

  • Once submitted, our intake team will contact you within one business day to walk through everything.

Submit an ABA Inquiry Form

Step 2: Connect With Our Intake Team

  • After receiving your inquiry, we’ll call you to understand your family’s goals, concerns, and specific needs.

  • Ask us anything about ABA: we’re here to answer questions and remove uncertainty.

  • This human-to-human connection is key — and helps us tailor the experience to your child’s unique situation.

Step 3: Secure or Confirm an Autism Diagnosis

  • A valid autism diagnosis is required by most insurance companies before ABA can begin.

    • Already have a diagnosis? Great — simply send it to us and we’ll move forward with minimal delay.

    • Don’t yet have one? We’ll refer you to a trusted diagnostician or arrange an evaluation at one of our centers — we’re by your side.

Submit a Diagnosis Inquiry Form

  • Why it matters: A diagnosis ensures your child receives the proper support and helps streamline insurance coverage.

Step 4: We’ll Verify Your Insurance Coverage

  • We accept most major insurance plans — including Medicaid — and we’ll confirm your coverage details for you.

  • We’ll explain your plan’s specifics: deductibles, co-pays, out-of-pocket max, etc.

  • All we need is a copy of your insurance card — we’ll handle the verification and paperwork. Upload Documents For Verification

  • This removes the guesswork, so your family can focus on what matters: progress.

Step 5: Complete a Comprehensive Assessment

  • Once your documentation is complete, our Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will perform a thorough evaluation of your child.

  • We’ll also ask what your goals are — what you hope your child will achieve.

  • From there we’ll design a personalized treatment plan, built specifically around your child’s strengths, needs, and family priorities.

Step 6: Begin ABA Therapy With Confidence

  • After plan approval and insurance authorization, we’ll schedule your child’s first session.

  • Your ABA journey begins with a team who cares deeply and is focused on positive outcomes.

  • Welcome to the start of progress, growth, and a brighter future.
