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.

Behavioral Innovations is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my son. I was very nervous leaving my then non verbal child somewhere for the first time but this center has helped our family so much. I feel the staff really cares about my child and uses techniques that cater to his way of learning and making it fun while and also supporting me as a parent!

Having a child with autism takes a village and I can gladly say everyone here at BI is family. My son has been here a little over a year and it has been amazing every step of the way! Since the day I stopped by to check out the center the center administrator was there to greet me with the biggest smile and welcoming energy! From that day forward I knew this is where we were supposed to be! The communication here is great and they are always keeping me updated on all the amazing things my son is achieving. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without the amazing love and support from the team here at Behavioral innovation.

I’m so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on his development. Thank you to the staff & BI RBT’s and BCBA for your service & support!!
