Questions families ask first

Straight answers—tap to expand. Find many more on our full FAQ page.

Do we need a formal diagnosis to get started?

Not always. Many families reach out while they’re still learning. We’ll help you understand your options and what paperwork or evaluations may be useful—without judgment.

What ages do you work with?

We support children and teens across a wide range of developmental stages. After intake, we’ll recommend services that match your child’s age, goals, and setting—home, school, or community.

Do you take insurance?

Coverage varies by plan and service. Our intake team can walk you through benefits, authorizations, and any out-of-pocket estimates so there are fewer surprises.
