Questions families ask
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis is an evidence-based approach that teaches communication, social, and daily living skills and reduces behaviors that get in the way of learning and safety. Every program is individualized and guided by ongoing data.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with TRICARE East, Sunshine Health, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Simply Healthcare, Florida Blue / BCBS, Curative, and Health Network One. We verify your coverage before services begin.
What do I need to get started?
Most plans need a physician referral for ABA and a Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE). Our intake team tells you exactly what your plan requires.
Where do services take place?
In your home, at school when permitted and clinically appropriate, and in the community.
How long does it take to start services?
Timing depends on your documents, the assessment, and your insurance plan’s authorization process. We keep you updated at every step.
Do you offer parent training?
Yes. Caregiver training is part of our services so strategies carry over into everyday life.
