Our program, which emphasizes school-readiness, can be a stepping-stone to a traditional school setting. We will work with children to teach them the necessary skills to successfully transition to a school environment. Based on your child’s needs related to their autism diagnosis, Atlas could be an effective alternative or preparation for preschool. Atlas is particularly suited for families who would benefit from one-on-one support, individualized behavior plans, and weekly parent-coaching. Reach out to us to learn more!
Atlas is relentlessly focused on helping your child make progress and develop amazing skills to live a full life. Our program relies on data collection and analysis to track progress and make data-driven decisions. First, we start by collaborating with caregivers to develop individualized goals and plans. Next, our staff are constantly implementing these plans and tracking each child’s progress.
We then have multiple weekly meetings to review your child’s progress to celebrate skill achievement and adjust interventions as needed. We will meet with you, as often as every week, to review progress, celebrate wins, and adjust goals.
ABA therapy is considered a medically necessary treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This means that insurance providers are required to cover the cost of ABA therapy to some extent. However, the amount of coverage can vary widely.
Medicaid covers the full cost of ABA therapy, while commercial insurance providers may only cover a portion of the cost (require a co-pay). Some insurance providers may limit the number of ABA therapy sessions that are covered each year. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand what your coverage includes. If your insurance provider does not cover the full cost of ABA therapy, there may be other options available to help you afford this important therapy.
Atlas is here to help you navigate your insurance and understand your coverage.
