Cost Effective Treatment Plans

Unfortunately, insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorders varies by provider. North Jersey law requires your major medical insurance to pay for preliminary screening and diagnosis of learning disabilities, including Asperger’s and autism spectrum disorders. A diagnosis of childhood autism means that your child needs medication and therapeutic treatment. Your child needs physical therapy, exercise, speech and cognitive therapy, and occupational therapy. If your child’s primary diagnosis is autism or Asperger’s syndrome, your medical insurance provider requires that your child follow a behavior therapy treatment plan. Your health care insurance provider may require a second opinion from a behavioral health clinician in your local hospital.

Searching for Answers

If your child was normal at birth and developed an autism spectrum disorder leaving you hurt, searching for answers, our parent support groups offer understanding peers and new friends that benefit you and your children. Caring for a special needs child can cut you off from normal interaction with other adults. Caring for yourself is an essential part of taking care of your children. Parent support grougs can improve your mood, your thoughts, and your well-being.

Autism

Autism can be identified before a child is two years old. Genetic and environmental conditions produce a variety of neurological disorders. Statistically, more boys than girls are autistic. Autism ranges from severe to mild. Some autistic children have cognitive impairments. Most have difficulty speaking and relating to others. Regressive autism is a loss of previously developed skills.

On the Spectrum

“On the spectrum” refers to the range of autistic disorders. Asperger’s syndrome is a less severe form of autism. PDD-NOS describe average autism disorders. A comprehensive assessment is required to diagnose an autistic disorder. Only 20 percent of all diagnosed children suffer severe autistic disorders.

Achievement Behavior Analysis

Your insurance plan may set annual maximum limits on the amount they pay for ABA therapy as treatment for childhood autism. The maximum annual limit for diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance for a child under eight years old with an autism spectrum disorder is $50,000. A teenager may be limited to $20,000 per year until he or she is 19 years old.

Behavioral Intervention Plans

ABA therapy targets maladaptive behavior and teaches daily living skills to older teenagers with autism spectrum disorders. Focused on skills acquisition, behavioral intervention teaches discrete mathematics, problem solving, following directions, and verbal communication. ABA therapists develop individual learning plans for each child or teenager and teach parents how to train and supervise their special needs child with a developmental learning disorder.

Social Skills

Social skills are learned through interaction with others in groups. Your child is taught basic greetings, basic language skills, recognition and understanding of emotions. Appropriate behavior is reinforced through role-paying exercises. Your child is taught to recognize social cues and respond accordingly. Your child will be expected to rely on his social skills when alone in his or her home, in school, in a restaurant, and on trips. Coping skills and problem-solving skills are also taught.

School Interventions

ABA therapists intervening in school settings benefit your child by creating a behavioral intervention plan (BIP). Teachers can identify your child’s behavioral issues and identify the causes of inappropriate behavior. School counselors and teachers can recognize and change your child’s problem behavior.

Our therapists also teach and train teachers and help them develop effective teaching strategies for your child. Schools and teachers receive assessments, support, and answers to their questions. Our consultations can improve your child’s social skills and keep your child in the classroom learning.

Initial Assessment

The whole family is included in your child’s initial assessment. Parents complete an application consenting to the evaluation. The achievement behavior therapist discusses your child’s issues and your worries to decide what services your child needs. Our staff will contact your insurance company. If your child needs achievement behavior therapy services, our therapists will begin a comprehensive developmental assessment.

Comprehensive Assessment

Our behavioral analysts keep parents involved in all steps of the assessment process. With an array of diagnostic tests, we’ll determine your child’s skill level and ability to learn. ABA therapists will be able to tell you how your child’s level of functioning compares to that of his or her peers.
