Does my child need to have autism to benefit from your care?
Our services cater to children with various developmental and neurological variances, extending beyond autism. We customize our approach to suit each child's distinct requirements, irrespective of their diagnosis. Whether your child is diagnosed with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or any other developmental hurdle, we're committed to aiding them in realizing their maximum capabilities. If you have inquiries or wish to explore how we can assist your child, please feel free to contact us.
Is there a required minimum time commitment for ABA hours?
At Behavioral Beginnings, we prioritize individualized care for each child. Hence, we don't enforce a specific minimum time commitment for ABA therapy hours. Instead, we collaborate with families to establish the ideal therapy duration, aligning with the unique needs and objectives of the child.
How long is your waitlist?
Waitlist timing can vary based on service needs and availability. In some cases, there may be little to no waitlist, though afternoon availability after school is typically more limited. The onboarding process generally takes about 4–6 weeks and may vary by insurance provider. This process can include collecting diagnosis information, submitting the referral to insurance, completing the Functional Behavior Assessment, and submitting the assessment for approval. For special requests or specific timing needs, families and case managers are encouraged to contact Behavioral Beginnings directly.
