Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens during the initial consultation?

    The initial consultation gives us an opportunity to learn more about the individual, your current concerns, strengths, priorities, and goals.

    We will discuss what is currently happening, what has already been tried, and what you would like to see improve. From there, we can determine whether Supported Behavior is an appropriate fit and recommend potential next steps.

  • What is ABA therapy?

    ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based therapy focused on improving socially significant behaviors through positive reinforcement and other behavioral techniques. It’s commonly used to help individuals with autism or other developmental challenges.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    Supported Behavior is a private-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly.

    This allows services to be designed around the individual's meaningful goals and needs without being limited solely by insurance authorization requirements. Contact us for current rates and available service options.

  • Do you provide services in the community?

    Yes. When appropriate, services may occur in natural community environments where the individual needs to use the skill.

    This may include grocery stores, restaurants, recreational settings, gyms, volunteer locations, workplaces, and other community environments. Community-based services are determined according to the individual's goals and service plan.

    Parent involvement is essential in therapy. You’ll receive training and guidance on how to support your child’s progress at home and be involved in setting goals and tracking improvements.

    Community-based services may take place in natural environments such as grocery stores, restaurants, recreational settings, gyms, volunteer locations, workplaces, and other locations where skills can be practiced in real-life situations. In-home services may also be available when skills are best assessed or taught within the individual's everyday environment.

    Service settings are individualized to ensure that skills are taught and practiced where they matter most,in everyday life.

  • Do you provide transportation?

    Transportation may be available as part of certain community-based services when appropriate and arranged in advance. Transportation is provided only to support participation in scheduled services and is not offered as a standalone transportation service.

    Families are encouraged to discuss transportation needs during the initial consultation so that appropriate arrangements can be determined before services begin.
