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.

My son has been attending this facility for a little over two years. I am generally hesitant to leave him anywhere because he is nonverbal, but when I drop him off here, I know he is in good hands. The entire team is consistently friendly, patient, and supportive. The staff is exceptional, and the center administrator is especially professional, understanding, and attentive to my son’s needs. I am truly pleased with the progress my child has made. I highly recommend Behavioral Innovations not only because of the positive developmental progress, but also because I have peace of mind while I’m at work, knowing my child is being well cared for. As a parent of an autistic child, that peace of mind is invaluable.

Overall, the facility and staff are really great. My child is coming from a school environment and  I could definitely see the difference in how they focus on the behavioral needs, often modifying there teaching plans as my child was learning. They even help the parents learn strategies to help navigate this experience. They really went above and beyond!
