Update
We are putting the final modifications in place to resume in-person services on Monday, June 15th. We are so looking forward to being able to provide the medically necessary services to the kids and families who need it, and have appreciated the patience and understanding of our community as we prioritize the health and safety of everyone by strictly adhering to federal, state, and local guidelines and CDC, WHO, and OSHA recommendations.

How to get started
Insurance companies can take up to 30 days to authorize ABA Therapy services, so we recommend submitting your paperwork as soon as possible.
You can email the necessary documentation to admin@behaviorplace.com, or create an account within our Parent Portal and securely upload everything directly into your child's account.
Once we receive your completed intake packet, your provider will contact you to schedule a virtual assessment. From there, a treatment plan will be developed, and services may begin once your insurance plan authorizes coverage.
We can't wait to see you!
