Sessions are typically 2–4 hours and delivered by a trained Behavior Technician using your child's individualized treatment plan. Goals are practiced through structured activities and play, data is collected on every trial, and progress is reviewed weekly by your child's supervising BCBA. Parents receive regular updates and are involved in goal-setting.

Yes, and we encourage it — especially early on. Parent involvement is a core part of our approach. Your presence helps therapists understand your child better, and it helps you learn strategies you can use at home. Parent training sessions are also available separately and billable under EIDBI.

We work with many managed care plans including UCare, Medica, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN. Call us at (651) 706-4563 or book a free consultation and we'll verify your specific plan before you commit to anything.
