Our process
Intake
Review of enrollment form
Introductory call to gain more information on your child’s needs
If we can provide you the support you are looking for, we will obtain authorization from your insurance provider to move forward with the assessment
If we cannot provide you the support you are looking for, we will recommend other options that may be a better fit
Assessment
This stage typically involves review of your child’s intake form and any relevant medical records, parent/caregiver interviews, rating scales/forms, observation of you child, and direct testing of skills
Information gathered during the assessment provides information that will be used to develop the treatment plan
Treatment
Plan
This is the document that will guide your child’s ABA treatment process
It typically covers medical history, current functioning levels, assessment results, treatment goals, and overall treatment recommendations (for example, number of hours of service)
The treatment plan is sent to funding agencies (e.g., insurance provider) for approval
Program
DevelopmenT
The BCBA creates instructional guides on how to target each goal outlined in the treatment plan
Training
The BCBA trains the Behavior Technician (BT) on all instructional guides through behavioral skills training, which involves:
Explaining the procedures
Modeling the procedures
Observing the BT running the procedures
Giving feedback to BT
Parent
Training
The BCBA meets with parents and/or caregivers on a regular basis to provide guidance in using ABA principles to meet treatment goals
Ongoing
Care,
Monitoring,
and
Supervision
The Behavior Technician provides ongoing direct ABA services according to your child’s approved number of hours and weekly schedule by implementing and recording data on the treatment plan
The BCBA provides ongoing supervision to the BT, monitors progress by reviewing the data, and meets with parents and/or caregivers on a regular basis to provide support
Transition
This is the final phase of services. While we never like goodbyes, our goal is not for you to need our support indefinitely. We want all parents, caregivers, family members, and any other stakeholder in our patient’s life to be able to eventually continue the plan successfully without our help. Specific criteria are determined at the beginning of treatment in order to fade out and discontinue services.
