  • Contacting Insurance

    To find a therapist who provides the type of support you seek, you can ask your doctor or pediatrician for a referral, or you can call your insurance company directly by dialing the number on your insurance card. You can ask for a list of therapists in your area who can work with the age and challenge for which you are seeking support. You may need to call 10 or more therapists to find one with availability. You can also request a free 15-minute consultation to see if they would be a good match for you.

    You can contact your pediatrician or insurance company directly to inquire about an evaluation for autism and ABA support services that can potentially provide many more hours of in-home support per week than therapy.

    Also, your child may also qualify for Regional Center services if you live in California. If you live in the Inland Empire, you can call (909) 890-3000 to inquire about an evaluation.

  • School Behaviors

    Whether your child is home schooled or attends charter, private, or public school, you can contact your school district's special education department and request an IEP evaluation if your child is having trouble with school work or behaviors that interfere with school work. A psychologist may be able to evaluate your child and determine if any therapeutic support would be needed and helpful to address your child's school-related difficulties.
