IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ABC:
-Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy on Oahu for over 20 years!
-Intensive clinic-based medically-necessary ABA treatment in Mapunapuna/Honolulu
-Medically-necessary ABA treatment reduces symptoms of autism, and can close the gap between developmental and chronological age (catch up to peers!)
-An "alternative school setting" requiring attendance Monday-Fridays.
-ABA Treatment is intensive and generally requires a 3-year roadmap and committment!
-ABA Treatment teaches your child new skills, like communication/language, reduces challenging behaviors, tests out needed accommodations, and caregivers will learn techniques to carry over the behavior plans at home/community as well as learning compassionate acceptance in order to enjoy your child's life- & for lasting change after therapy ends.
-We do not conduct diagnostic evaluations to obtain a diagnosuis.
- We require at least 85% attendance. Consistency of sessions are what drives your child's progress in ABA treatment programs and produces the best outcomes from treatment. It is like taking daily medication to treat any other diagnosis. You won't get better unless you take the medicine.
-We do not provide AFTER SCHOOL ONLY ABA to new clients.
- We reserve our AFTER SCHOOL ONLY session hours for those kids who graduate from our INTENSIVE ABA PROGRAMS.
FUNDING INFORMATION:
-We ONLY accept the following sources of in-network insurance funding and other for those children with an Autism diagnosis:
1. HMSA (Commercial PPO/HMO or Federal),
2. MedQuest (HMSA & Aloha Care)
3. DOE Placement via Your Child's IEP (non-insurance based)
4. Cash Payments through our Concierge Program (non-insurance based and no ASD diagnosis needed).
*WE ARE NOT IN NETWORK WITH KAISER, TRICARE, UNITED HEALTH CARE OR AETNA. If you have these or any others that we are not in network with as a secondary insurance, it will be your responsibility to submit your own claims. We will provide you with a superbill only.
NO DIAGNOSIS YET?
-For those children with suspected autism (eg. who have symptoms of autism, but no formal diagnosis yet, we can help your Primary Care Provider (PCP) or physician make a referral while you are awaiting your diagnostic evaluation appointment to obtain a diagnosis of autism. -There is no need to wait for a diagnosis to begin ABA treatment, or to get on a waitlist.
-You may also visit the Caregivers Tab on our website for an Autism Diagnosis M-CHAT screening tool form to fill out and print to take to your Primary Care Physician or Pediatrician.
Thank you again for taking the time to share information with us about your child. We look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and potentially partnering with you to improve your child's future by using the science of ABA.
