My child is undiagnosed, what are my next steps?
FlutterFlies does require a diagnosis from your pediatrician to initiate services. If you suspect your child has ASD, contact your pediatrician, and they will give you a reference for ABA Therapy Services.
What does the process look like once we contact you?
When you contact us and request services, we will then send onboarding paperwork. Once you
finish the paperwork, we schedule an initial assessment where a BCBA will assess your child and your family’s needs and put together a treatment plan.
How long does the process take once we contact you?
The timeline between contacting us and starting therapy fluctuates depending on your schedule as well as the time it takes for your insurance to approve the treatment on their end. Typically it takes 2 – 3 weeks.
How do I know if my child has ASD?
Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD is usually diagnosed from ages 2-4. You might notice your child has an extreme sensitivity to clothing, noise, or textures. Other signs might be that your child lacks awareness in surroundings, they do not imitate smiles/laughing. They might never cry OR cry non-stop. You might notice a delay in speaking or little to no ‘babbling’.
If you notice any of the above signs, contact your pediatrician.
How much time do I need to commit to ABA therapy?
The scheduled hours for therapy will be dependent on how many hours you are available and how many hours your insurance approves per week. While some experts recommend 40 hours a week, in most cases therapists work with patients around 20 hours a week, but there is no real ‘standard’ and FlutterFlies will work with you to ensure your needs are being met.
How do I know if ABA is right for my child?
ABA Therapy is the #1 recommended therapy for children with developmental disorders. Chances are, your child and your family will benefit greatly from the implementation of ABA therapy.
