Benefit Verification and Assessment Authorization

Comprehensive Assessment
An adept BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) will valuate your loved one’s functionality regarding areas of communication, social skills, adaptive daily living, and behavior (FBA).
-
Parent Training
Parent training is included as part of the therapy. A BCBA will work closely with parents to ensure parents have the skills and knowledge needed outside of session hours.

Treatment Plan
