Applied Behavioral Analysis Services 

APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services are incorporated into the comprehensive treatment approach at the Melmed Center. ABA is the application of principles of behavior to improve socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree. ABA therapy is evidence-based, and research has documented the effectiveness of ABA in the education and treatment of people with autism. Having a child with special needs impacts the whole family such as participating in family functions and community outings depending on how your child engages with others and their surroundings. Our ABA services are family-focused and each treatment is individualized to fit your family’s needs and improve the quality of life for the whole family.

Melmed ABA Admission Pathway

Step 1: Waitlist
Submit your information to us through your Developmental Pediatrician Referral or using the form below! This is a long process. Please be patient and hang in there! 

Step 2: Screening Interview
Our Program Manager will contact you to discuss availability, insurance, conduct a brief screening interview and help you explore different ABA program options*.

Step 3: Paperwork/Insurance Verification
Fill out our forms and return them to get scheduled! While you fill out our paperwork, we will be verifying your insurance benefits. Once we receive the paperwork back, we will be able to inform you of your benefits for ABA services.

Step 4: Clinical Intake 
This is a one hour parent interview @ $140.00 with our Program Director. This is not contracted by insurance. This is an assessment to determine your placement in the ABA Program. 

Step 5: Assessment/Report Writing
First step to the treatment process is an assessment where the BCBA will identify the developmental goals for your child's individual profile. This can take 2-4 hours. Then there is a  3-4 week break where the report is written, authorization is obtained, staff is trained, and materials are prepared.

Step 6: Services Begin! 
We will finalize your schedule and availability and begin services in your home/school to help them achieve their fullest potential!
