Children with a confirmed diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are referred to the Intensive ABA program. This diagnosis must be made by a pediatrician or a registered psychologist. Once we receive the referral, you will receive a letter asking you to contact the Intensive ABA Program SOCIAL Worker to discuss service. The Social Worker will also help you connect with other services and supports that may be beneficial.

If, after meeting with the Social Worker, you choose to PARTICIPATE in the Intensive ABA program, a Senior Therapist will be assigned. A Senior Therapist is a Child MANAGEMENT Specialist that has specialized training in Autism Spectrum Disorder and ABA. The Senior Therapist will call you directly to arrange visits with you and your child to complete a developmental assessment. This developmental assessment, along with input from you and any other relevant professionals who are involved with your child, will identify your child’s strengths and needs, and will form the basis of your child’s therapy program. The number of home therapy hours your child will receive will be based on your child’s age and the results of the Senior Therapist’s developmental assessment. After this developmental assessment is complete, a meeting will be held to develop an Individual Support Services PLAN (ISSP) for your child, if one has not been developed already. Visits from your Senior Therapist will occur in your home on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
