What is the Process of Beginning Aba Therapy Services?

The process of beginning ABA therapy services in Montgomery County involves several clear steps, starting with initial contact and culminating in the implementation of a tailored treatment plan led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The steps are as follows:

1. Contact Providers for Evaluation: Reach out to local clinics via phone or email to request an initial assessment and secure a referral for ABA therapy.

2. Complete Intake Assessment: Schedule and attend the intake, which often includes tools like the VB-MAPP (Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program) to evaluate the child’s skills and identify personalized goals.

3. Verify Insurance and Benefits: Work with the provider to confirm insurance coverage and address all financial aspects before proceeding with treatment.

4. Schedule the First Session: Choose between in-center or home-based services based on family preferences and availability.

5. Begin with BCBA-Led Plan: Implement the tailored plan under the guidance of a BCBA, including regular check-ins for adjustments and ongoing assessment.
