  • Does well with a steady, familiar early learning routine
  • Needs extra support during group activities, circle time, or free play
  • Benefits from building social skills right alongside classmates
  • Is enrolled in a preschool, nursery, or childcare program
  • Does best getting therapy where they already spend their day

Every plan is built around your child, but most families see progress across these core areas:

Social skills

Sharing, taking turns, playing alongside classmates, and making friends.

Daily living

Washing hands, getting ready for snack time, and packing up belongings.

Emotional regulation

Noticing big feelings and learning calm ways to ask for a break.

Classroom readiness

Sitting through story time, following simple instructions, and handling routine changes.

How Getting Started Works

Most families go from first call to first session in a couple of weeks, and we handle the insurance side for you so you’re not chasing paperwork.

  • Consultation: We talk through your child’s needs and your goals, and help you decide if daycare or school-based care is a good fit.
  • Insurance check: Based on your area, we verify your coverage and sort out the preauthorization with your plan, so you know what’s covered before we start. Medicaid, including waiver programs for eligible children, and most major plans cover ABA.
  • BCBA assessment and setup: Your child’s BCBA builds a plan around their goals, and we coordinate directly with your daycare or school to set up sessions.

‍

Family and Teacher Involvement

Daycare-based ABA works because everyone’s on the same page. We stay close to both you and your child’s teachers, so the support in the classroom lines up with what happens at home.

‍

Teacher collaboration: Our therapists work side by side with your child’s educators, sharing strategies that keep the whole classroom running smoothly.

BCBA oversight: A BCBA designs and supervises the plan, visiting the daycare regularly, or checking in by telehealth, to observe sessions, refine goals, and coach the team.

A debrief that reaches you: At the end of each day, the therapist shares a quick update with the teacher and logs notes for your family, so you’re never out of the loop.

Strategies for home: Simple things you can practice day to day so progress carries beyond the classroom.
