NCBS contracts with private insurance companies to provide professional behavioral consultation to infants, young children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders or other developmental disabilities in home-based programs. Through evidence-based, pragmatic treatment, consultation and teaching, based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we provide families the opportunity to improve the independence, inclusion and overall quality of life of their special needs children.
How In-Home Services Work
Once your family is ready to begin, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) meets with you to create a Treatment Plan built around your family’s goals for your child. It typically takes 2-3 weeks to write the Treatment Plan after that initial meeting, and the plan is then submitted to TriCare for approval, which usually takes 7-10 business days.
Once approved, we build a dedicated team for your family consisting of your BCBA and one or two Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), depending on the BCBA’s recommendations. RBTs implement the Treatment Plan in your home under the ongoing supervision of the BCBA, who visits regularly to supervise sessions and meet with your family about your child’s progress. Typical sessions occur several times a week and last around three hours each. Every six months, the BCBA reviews and updates the Treatment Plan to reflect your child’s progress.
You Have a Voice in the Plan
At NoCal Behavioral Services, we work hard to make sure you have an integral part in creating the plan for your child. Your BCBA considers your family’s goals and the specific areas you’d like to address before writing the Treatment Plan, and you can always ask for additional support in certain areas as treatment continues. Our BCBAs also hold monthly family meetings, one with your child present and one without, to answer any questions in a more personalized setting.
Grounded in a Humanistic Approach
Our in-home services reflect our broader non-negotiables: a humanistic approach that prioritizes the dignity of your family, and a commitment to people over profits in every decision we make.
Insurance We Accept
We currently accept TriCare and private paid services for in-home ABA therapy. If we are ever unable to provide services directly, we are happy to help your family find other providers in your area.
