Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ages of the clients you work with?
While we most often work with children ages 2-6, feel free to reach out if your child is older than 12 months to see if we may be a good fit.
What is ABA?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, which is a scientific approach to understanding and changing behaviors that are important to an individual’s daily life and well-being. By using individualized, evidence-based techniques such as breaking a behavior down into small steps, supporting the individual to engage in the behavior, and providing positive reinforcement, ABA helps individuals to learn new skills and simultaneously reduce challenging behaviors.
Do you take insurance?
While we do not currently work with any insurance companies, you may have options for obtaining reimbursement. If your child has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (F84.0) and you have a commercial health insurance policy, you may be reimbursed for services using your Out-of-network benefits. Start by calling your insurance company's member services (the number is usually on the back of your insurance card) to verify your benefits. If you have a health savings account (HSA) or a flexible spending account (FSA), you may be eligible for reimbursement under the category of “sleep deprivation treatment”. Reach out to your insurance plan’s FSA/HSA administrator to determine eligibility and to find out if you need pre-approval.
Will we have to do the “cry it out” method?
No. While we can’t guarantee there will be zero crying during the process, we will be recommending several gentle sleep training methods with the goal of keeping your child as close to happy and relaxed as possible throughout the intervention.
Where will sessions take place?
All sessions will take place virtually via Zoom. If you are local to the Media, PA area, in-person sessions are also available for ongoing services.
