Frequently Asked Questions
Where do services take place
Services are provided in your home to support meaningful learning and real-life application. In-home sessions allow for:
-
Carryover and generalization of skills into daily routines, family interactions, and natural environments
-
Greater ease for busy families, eliminating travel time and supporting flexible scheduling
-
Functional, practical support that targets skills as they naturally occur in everyday situations
Providing services in the home helps ensure strategies are relevant, effective, and immediately usable for both children and caregivers.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, services are offered on a private-pay basis only and we do not bill insurance directly. This model allows for greater flexibility, individualized support, and a focus on family-centered goals without insurance limitations.
Do you have a waitlist?
No, we are not maintaining a waitlist at this time. Availability may change, so families are encouraged to reach out to inquire about current openings.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No, a doctor’s referral is not required to start services. However, information from previous evaluations or reports can be helpful in guiding goals and planning individualized support.
