Ready, set, learn!

Well, it's that time again! The dog days of summer are coming to a close and school is just around the corner. Back to school brings structured routine, extracurricular activities, homework, friends, and more. While there is a lot of excitement, starting school also brings change which can be hard for any child. So, for Training Tip Tuesday this week, here are a few tips to help you child transition from summer to school year!#1 Simplify School SuppliesWe've all seen the poppit notebooks and sparkle filled glitter glue. While these items might be fun, I suggest keeping school supplies simple. Some of the more extravagant supplies on the market are distracting for a learning environment. Remember, our supplies are meant to be tools to support learning. Keeping toys and sensory objects separate helps your child stay focused on the task at hand!#2 Establish a Bedtime Routine If you’ve been relaxed with your summer bedtime routine enjoying later nights and sleeping in, start now with your school scheduled bedtime routine. Giving your kiddo a few weeks to adjust will smooth the transition and eliminate the additional stress from being over tired.#3 Talk About the DayStart talking with your child about their school day and what that will look like for them. Even if they went to school last year, having conversations helps your kiddo set expectations, know what to expect, and express any concerns or questions. The more comfortable they are, the easier this transition this will be!#4 Attend Open HouseBe sure to attend your child’s scheduled open house! Doing so allows your kiddo to see where they will sit, where they will learn, and what their teacher will look like. Many kids are visual learners so seeing the actual classroom ahead of time will do a world of good with easing any anxiety. #5 Tell the TeacherCommunication is key! Talk to your child’s teacher about your specific child’s needs. Do they have a sensory object to help them throughout the day? Do they tend to fidget a lot? Maybe your kiddo brings a little stuffed animal to help them with comfort. These are things the teacher needs to know and understand to best support your child.We want to help make the back-to-school transition as smooth as possible for your family! For tips like these, please contact us and a behavior therapist would be happy to answer any questions. We are here to support you through every phase of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to what families ask us most often.

Where can I find additional resources?

Please visit our Resources page and Blog for helpful information, parent support, and educational content.

‍

We update these pages regularly. If there is a topic or resource you would like to see added, please let us know. We are always looking for ways to better support families.

What ages do you serve?

We serve a variety of ages, generally ranging from 18 months through the teenage years. Age availability may vary by location, program, and clinical fit.

‍

Please reach out to our team if you are unsure whether your child falls within the age range for services in your area.

Does my child need a diagnosis to receive ABA therapy?

Most private insurance plans require an autism diagnosis for ABA therapy coverage, while some Medicaid plans allow for ADHD or other qualifying diagnosis. While private pay does not always require a diagnosis, we do not currently accept private pay at this time. This may change in the future, so families are welcome to check back on our website or reach out for updates.

Do I need a referral for ABA therapy?

Yes. Insurance companies require an active referral (within 1 year) for ABA therapy before they will approve coverage.

If you are unsure whether your current referral is complete or up to date, our team can help guide you through what is needed.

What diagnoses do you accept?

Because we currently work through insurance and do not accept private pay at this time, we follow each insurance company’s coverage requirements.

‍

Most private insurance plans we are in network with require an autism diagnosis for ABA therapy coverage. In some cases, Florida Medicaid may approve services for ADHD or another qualifying diagnosis.

‍

If you believe your child may qualify for coverage without an autism diagnosis due to special circumstances, a case manager’s recommendation, or another coverage pathway, please reach out. We are happy to review your situation and help however we can.

‍

What insurance plans do you accept?

Please visit our Partnerships page for the most up-to-date list of insurance plans we currently accept.

‍

We are also open to credentialing with additional insurance companies. If you do not see your insurance listed, please reach out to our team and ask about submitting a credentialing request.

What is the intake process?

Families can begin by calling, emailing, or sending a referral to our team. From there, we will schedule an initial consultation call to learn more about your child, your family’s needs, and the services you are seeking.

‍

Before services can begin, we will need an updated CDE or diagnostic evaluation, an active referral for ABA therapy, and a completed intake packet. Once we have the necessary paperwork, we will either begin the next steps toward services or place your child on the waitlist until availability opens.

What is the average wait time for services?

Our average wait time is typically 3–6 months, depending on location, availability, staffing, and scheduling needs.

‍

We are also building a parent training program for waitlisted families so parents can begin learning helpful tools and strategies at home while waiting for in-person availability.
