What is the process for getting approved for services?

You will need to call our office and submit an ABA intake form, referal from the pediatrician, the initial psychological evaluation diagnosing your child with Autism, and a copy of your drivers license.

Does my insurance cover ABA?

Many insurance companies, including Medicaid, cover ABA for up to 40 hours per week of 1-1 treatment.

How long does authorization for services take?

The entire process from your first phone call to onset of services takes about 6 weeks. Patients are generally authorized for treatment for 6 month intervals and 20-40 hours per week.

Does ABA therapy work for Autism?

ABA therapy is the gold standard for a clinically-validated and heavily researched approach to helping children with autism.

When is the best time for my child to begin ABA therapy?

Clinical research has demonstrated that children who start ABA therapy as early as possible (~2 years old) make the most significant improvements in their areas of deficit. Children who received early intensive ABA therapy progressed to the point of being virtually indistinguishable from their neurotypical peers.

TLC ABA THERAPY

What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of intensive therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or are barriers to learning.

Behavior analysis helps us to understand:

How behavior works
How behavior is affected by the environment
How learning takes place

The methods of behavior analysis have been used and studied for decades. Therapists typically work with children in their home or school environment. Therapists have used ABA to help children with autism and related developmental disorders for 50 + years. Children are typically approved for anywhere from 20-40 hours per week of intense 1-1 therapy. We are in network with Amerigroup, CareSource, Peachstate, Medicaid, Anthem BCBS, and Aetna. We accept Katie Beckett. We will file out of network with any other commercial insurance and/or commercial insurance with Katie Beckett.
