3. Can we pay for services privately (not through insurance)? If so, how much would it cost?

Yes, absolutely. The rates will be provided to you on the service agreement.

4. My child has ADD/ADHD/Down Syndrome (any diagnosis outside of ASD), could they still be able to receive ABA therapy?

Yes, some private insurances such as CMS21/Sunshine/WellCare will cover ABA for those who have a diagnosis of ASD, Down Syndrome and ADHD. However, most insurance companies do require a diagnosis of ASD in order to cover ABA services. If your child does not have a diagnosis, you can still receive ABA services by entering a private pay (self-pay) agreement.

5. Do you offer services in the home, at the school? Do we have to take our child to where you are?

We offer services wherever the client needs them and as long as the school or facility allows therapists in.

6. Do you provide speech therapy? Do you provide occupational therapy? Do you offer services in (any place outside of Miami Dade and Broward County)?

We offer ABA services exclusively. However, our ABA therapists are also able to work on a lot of other things such as helping with communication and motor skills. Our sister company does provide psychological services, such as testing, Psychoed, individual therapy etc.

7. Do you offer ABA services for anyone 18 years old or older?

Yes, we do. ABA is for all ages and can be used for everyone.

8. How long does the process take for my child to start receiving ABA therapy with your company after I finish submitting all the paperwork?

It all depends, if you are doing private pay it should be within one week depending how quickly an appointment can be scheduled with the family to meet. If it’s through your insurance, then it would depend on how quickly the insurance company provides us with an authorization number to do the initial assessment. Typically, this can take anywhere between 1-2 weeks.

9. How many hours of therapy would my child be receiving?

Every child is different. This is something that would be determined once the initial assessment is done, and analyst can determine what the child needs.
