The Intake Process
Six steps from first contact to services beginning.
- Submit an intake form. Tell us about the learner and your goals. A diagnosis from a qualified licensed clinician is needed for insurance-funded ABA.
- Coverage and authorization. We verify your benefits and obtain your insurer's authorization for an assessment.
- Assessment. A BCBA meets your family, observes the learner, and completes standardized assessments.
- Treatment plan. An individualized plan with measurable goals is developed and submitted to your insurer for authorization.
- Team assignment. We match a therapy team to the learner's needs, with caregiver training built into the plan.
- Services begin. Progress is measured continuously, and plans are reviewed with your insurer at least every six months.
Coverage
