Before the pre-treatment process can occur pre-authorization for evaluations must be approved by the insurance company. In-home intake process- Once we receive approval, a BCBA will contact you to set up a time to meet in order to complete the intake process. The intake usually takes one to two hours. During this time you will have the opportunity to express your specific concerns and goals for ABA therapy. Parents should have the intake packet completed and any other documentation you would like to share with the BCBA. Pre-treatment- After the intake process is complete, the pre-treatment process will be initiated. Your child will be assessed using a formal tool such as the ABLLS or VB-MAPP. The BCBA will observe and interact with your child weekly to assess their current skill level. This information is used in conjunction with the information gathered during the intake process to develop a treatment plan for your child. Development of treatment plan and programs- After the pre-treatment process is complete, the BCBA will review the information gathered and create a treatment plan for your child. The treatment plan will outline the treatment goals that will be worked during ABA therapy. During this time, the number of ABA therapy hours appropriate for your child will be discussed. After the treatment plan is complete, it is then submitted to the insurance company for approval. This could take 3 weeks. Treatment plan and meeting with therapist- Once the treatment plan has been approved, the BCBA will develop a program binder containing treatment plane and programs for each treatment goal. The BCBA will, then, setup a meeting to review the documents and to have your child meet their ABA therapist. Services will begin with ABA therapist following this meeting. 1
