NCBS provides ABA services no matter where the support is needed. Our goal is to help provide support where problem behaviors occur and where skills need to be performed. We work with families to address their needs in a variety of environments. Whether a family wants support with going to stores, going out for dinner, or interacting appropriately in social situations, we address all these issues at NCBS. As with our other services, NCBS contracts with private insurance companies and TriCare to provide this professional behavioral consultation to infants, young children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders or other developmental disabilities.
Why In-Community Services Matter
In-community services are one of three settings we offer alongside in-home and in-school ABA therapy, because we believe behavior is best addressed in the environment where it actually occurs. If your child struggles most out in public, such as during errands, at restaurants, or during social outings, our team can work directly in those settings rather than only at home or in a clinic.
How In-Community Services Work
As with all of our services, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) creates a Treatment Plan built around your family’s goals, which is then submitted to TriCare for approval. Once approved, your team of BCBA and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) implements the plan directly in community settings, with the BCBA providing ongoing supervision and regular check-ins with your family. Every six months, the BCBA reviews and updates the plan based on your child’s progress.
We work hard to make sure your family has a voice in that plan. Your BCBA considers your goals and the specific situations you’d like help with before writing it, and our BCBAs hold monthly family meetings, one with your child present and one without, to answer questions along the way.
A Community-Focused Mission
At the heart of our mission is a focus on community, and we actively contribute to the well-being of the communities we serve by giving back in meaningful ways. In-community ABA therapy is a direct extension of that commitment: helping your child build the skills to participate confidently in everyday community life.
Insurance We Accept
We currently accept TriCare and private paid services for in-community ABA therapy. If we are unable to provide services in a particular area, we are happy to help your family find other providers.
