We make starting ABA simpler

Finding and starting ABA care can involve a lot of moving parts. Headstart makes it simpler — helping you find a provider, navigate insurance, and move through intake with support from our team along the way.

Headstart makes it easier to get started

Headstart is the team that helps you navigate the path to ABA care. We connect you with a local, BCBA-led practice and help with the logistics that come before care begins.

  1. 1

    Find the right provider for your family

    We’ll help you explore local options based on things like location, schedule, insurance, and your family’s needs.

  2. 2

    Work through insurance and paperwork

    Our team verifies benefits, helps handle insurance paperwork and authorization, and keeps you updated as things move forward.

  3. 3

    Get through intake with someone helping you

    We’ll explain each step, tell you what information you’ll need, and answer questions along the way.

Your BCBA leads your child’s assessment and develops their personalized care plan. Headstart helps make the path to that care simpler.

Support from intake through getting started

There are a few steps between reaching out and beginning ABA. You don’t have to navigate them on your own.

    Your BCBA gets to know your child

    Your provider completes an assessment to understand your child’s strengths, needs, routines, and goals. You’ll also have time to ask questions and get comfortable with the team.

  4. Two women talk beside a laptop and a coffee mug.

    A personalized plan comes together

    Your BCBA develops a care plan around your child’s needs and recommends the goals, schedule, and approach that make sense for them. We help with the remaining steps so care can get underway.

We’ll let you know what’s needed, when it’s needed, and help you through it.
