Enrollment FAQs

Questions families ask before getting started

Find quick answers about timing, diagnosis, insurance, availability, and what to expect after you contact our team.

What age range do you serve?

We serve children with autism from ages 18 months through 10 years, with programs designed to grow as your child grows.

How soon can my child begin after submitting an inquiry?

Typically within four to six weeks, depending on documentation and authorization. We will help expedite whenever possible.

Is there a waitlist?

It depends on the location and your child's specific needs. Some centers may have immediate openings, while others may have short wait times. Our intake team will review availability in your area and prioritize your family to begin services as soon as possible.

Do we need an autism diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?

Yes. A valid autism diagnosis is required by most insurance plans before ABA therapy can begin. If you do not have one yet, we can help you connect with evaluation options in your area.

Do you accept my insurance?

Behavioral Innovations accepts most major commercial insurance plans as well as Medicaid in select states. Our intake team will verify your benefits and confirm eligibility before therapy begins — all at no cost to you. See insurance coverage by state.

What if I don't see my insurance listed?

Plans vary by state, and our network is always expanding. Even if your plan is not listed, contact us — we may already be in the process of adding your insurer or can help you explore single-case agreements.

Will I receive updates on my child's progress?

Yes. Transparent family communication is foundational: you will receive regular updates, data-driven reports, and can always connect with the team.

“Having a child with autism takes a village, and I can gladly say everyone here at BI is family. It has been amazing every step of the way, and they are always keeping me updated on all the things my son is achieving.”
