Our process

Start ABA therapy in 4 simple steps.

  1. First, enroll

    Talk with our team about your child and your goals for treatment. We'll support you through completing the enrollment paperwork. We will work with your insurance company to verify your insurance so you don't have to.

  2. Next, get assessed

    A BCBA will observe your child to evaluate their strengths and struggles. You’ll also have an in-depth discussion with our BCBA about your concerns and goals for your child.

  3. Then, draw up a plan

    With your insights and aspirations in mind, a BCBA will develop a treatment plan outlining goals for your child, and breaking them down into small, achievable steps.

  4. Finally, start sessions

    Once we get the plan approved by your insurance provider, you’re ready to go! We'll begin regular therapy sessions with a BCBA and RBT in a location that suits the needs of your child.
