Starting ABA therapy can be an overwhelming process. At Thrive Behavior Centers, we're here to help. The first step is simple! Just click here and fill in a little information about your child. Our admissions team will reach out ASAP and send you our easy-to-fill-out survey that will help our clinician prepare for your free clinical consultation.
The First Step
We're accepting new clients at our centers. The first step to starting your child's ABA therapy is providing us with some basic information about your child. It's quick and easy!
Get StartedWe're Here to Help
At Thrive Behavior Centers, we're here to make getting the therapy your child needs as quick and easy as possible.
Step 01
Get Started
Step 02
Initial Consultation
For your child's initial consultation, our team will schedule a complimentary consultation with a staff member. They can answer questions about ABA therapy, our specialized treatment model, and why personalized ABA therapy is so important. This is also a great time to ask questions about our ABA services and centers to ensure we’re the best fit for your family.
Step 03
Clinical Evaluation
Next, you'll bring your child to one of our bright, kid-friendly centers for a clinical evaluation with one of our knowledgeable and compassionate BCBAs. During the evaluation, the BCBA will meet with you to discuss your concerns and then get some one-one-one time with your child for a play-based evaluation using a behavioral assessment (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, PEAK, etc.).
After the evaluation, the BCBA will meet with you briefly to discuss his or her recommendations for ABA therapy and then follow up by sending your child's personalized ABA treatment plan.
We'll also take care submitting all the appropriate documentation to your insurance for authorization of services.
Step 04
Starting Therapy
We know waiting is difficult when you are trying to get help for your child. We help streamline the process to make it as quick and easy as possible. Our centers are accepting new clients, which reduces wait time and helps get your child's therapy started faster.
Most insurance companies review the BCBA's treatment plan before authorizing coverage for ABA therapy. We'll submit all the necessary documentation and keep you updated on the review process. We're committed to starting your child's therapy as soon as possible.
We're looking forward to meeting your child!
