Tell us what you're facing and what's possible. We'll recommend next steps and help you decide if we're the right fit.

A plan built around you

Assessment and decision-making tools for behavior analysts and agencies, plus continuing education to keep your practice sharp and your documentation defensible.
FAQs
Who do you work with?
Families, children, teens, and adults; schools and educators; and clinicians, behavior analysts, and agencies. Start with the path that sounds most like you and we'll point you from there.
1
Do you accept insurance?
It depends on the service. Our ABA-based services (food selectivity, sleep, skill groups, and parent-mediated ABA) can be funded through Utah Medicaid (credentialing in progress), select private insurance, and Utah scholarships with a documented ASD diagnosis, or by private pay. Parent coaching, IEP advocacy, adult coaching, and consulting are private pay.
2
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. We're based in Utah and offer in-person and telehealth services. Availability outside Utah depends on the service and on state licensing requirements, so ask us and we'll tell you what's possible.
3
Do I need a diagnosis?
Not for everything. Medicaid and insurance billing require a documented ASD diagnosis. Our private-pay services do not.
5
I'm not sure which service I need. Where do I start?
