* If you are seeking ABA therapy for you child please be aware that unlike other forms of therapy, most insurances companies require medical necessity for coverage of ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapy. This requires a medical doctor (such as a pediatrician or psychiatrist) or psychologist to make the diagnosis and determination of medical necessity for ABA therapy. Many doctors will use an ADOS evaluation conducted by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Please contact your medical provider to ensure the testing I provide will be accepted as part of the medical providers determination of a medical diagnosis and medical necessity for ABA therapy.
