If you have a diagnostic report, please send it with a copy of the front and back of your insurance card with the member’s date of birth (if applicable). Our email is: info@abaastepatatimecare.com.

Once services are approved, we will share our parent handbook, which includes important documentation including requirements for providing services, patient rights, financial agreements, and responsibilities of all parties. If terms were to change, we would provide advance notice.

Getting your child best-in-class care fast is imperative. As such, we commit to limiting the intake-to-service window to 3 weeks.

ABA is widely recognized as the single most effective treatment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disorders.

ABA is a scientifically-proven and evidence-based discipline.

ABA is endorsed as the single demonstrably effective intervention for autism by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the United States Surgeon General.

Research shows that a sizable minority (47%) of children receiving intensive ABA therapy treatment from an early age lose the diagnosis and reintegrate into a generalized school setting.

Other disciplines such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy can complement the ABA treatment plan as appropriate.

Communication between all members of your child’s care team is important to streamline your child’s progress. We ensure that all professionals working with your child collaborate tightly to monitor progress.

If your providers are external to our organization, our BCBA will typically coordinate the overall care for you.

Consult your pediatrician or specialist to further confirm the importance of ABA for your child.

Obtain your child’s comprehensive diagnostic report from a specialist. Ensure the report is manually signed by the diagnostician alongside his or her credentials.

This initial assessment is the cornerstone of your child’s treatment plan.

A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) carefully selected for how his or her expertise matches your child’s profile, will come to your home to meet and play. 4-8 hours spent with your loved one and your family will allow the BCBA to assess your child’s skill strengths and needs.

The BCBA then layers on your family’s unique values and preferences to determine which learning objectives to target and the associated treatment hours required. This constitutes your child’s individualized treatment plan.

Based on the initial assessment, your BCBA will consider the full gamut of ABA therapy techniques to build your child’s treatment plan. These range from more structured discrete trial-based training conducted at a desk to more naturalistic play-based strategies.

Therapy sessions are run in a one-to-one format in a home, office, or school setting.

A caregiver must be present in a home or office setting. Each child’s program is designed to match the caregivers’ availability while respecting the times and environment in which the child can best learn and interact.

As in any team, coaching the MVP is essential to win. In this situation, the MVP on your child’s team is you! You know your child best. Parent training will be very important to your child’s and family’s success and quality of life. This extends to all caregivers (grandparents, aunties, aides, etc.)

Your BCBA will help channel your unique bond with your child into a powerful force for behavior change. You will learn the proper ABA techniques and how to apply them to the targeted areas in an effort to provide your child with a continuum of care outside of dedicated ABA therapy sessions. Caregiver coaching is time well spent and will translate into tangible results.

Formal reassessments occur at least every 6 months to gauge progress. Every success is celebrated to instill confidence, pride, and the desire to do more.

A BCBA optimizes progress by tracking behaviors and adjusting goals as often as needed. Modifications are supported by the data collected during therapy.

We are in lockstep with our families, keeping them abreast of the targeted skills or behaviors as they evolve and of the child’s progress over time.

Our BCBAs always seek consent from a parent or guardian, and assent from the child before implementing new strategies.

With all behavioral and social goals met, a child has reached the best outcome. For a sizable minority (47%), this means that the child can be integrated into a generalized classroom setting.

For a majority of children, graduating means that they have progressed to the point where they can be integrated into a special education setting with varying degrees of academic support.

Our services include both special education itinerant teachers and personalized academic coaching.
