GETTING STARTED

Your Journey to Support Starts Here! While starting therapy can be a big step, I am here to make the process as seamless as possible. Because I am the sole practitioner, you will be communicating directly with me -your BCBA- at every step of this process!

ROADMAP for Tricare Learners:

Step 1: Initial Inquiry & Consultation

• Action: Fill out the contact form or call for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

• Goal: To discuss your child's needs, my current availability, and ensure my direct-service model is the right fit for your family.

Step 2: Insurance Verification & Intake

• Action: Review intake paperwork and handbook. Submit necessary documentation including:

  • formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • referral or prescription for ABA therapy from your pediatrician

  • current insurance information

  • any recent IEPs or reports from other providers (previous ABA, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and/or Physical Therapy)

Step 3: Clinical Assessment

• Action: I will conduct a comprehensive, assent-based assessment in your home.

• Focus: Observing your child in their natural environment and meeting with you to discuss your family's specific priorities and goals.

Step 4: The Treatment Plan

• Action: I develop a customized, evidence-based plan for your child.

• Collaboration: We will review this plan together to ensure it aligns with your values and daily routines before submitting it to insurance for authorization.

Step 5: Beginning Services

• Action: Once authorized, we begin our scheduled sessions—whether it’s Direct Treatment or the Parent Education Program.
