DOE-Funded ABA viaI mpartial Hearing Orders
If you have won an impartial hearing settlement or pendency decision and need to contract for ABA services, we are well equipped to provide ABA and other services and then bill the DOE so there are no costs to the parent.
DOE-funded ABA allows for BCBAs to provide the direct service, not just supervise the service. Additionally, we provide a wide range of evidence-based treatments (e.g., CBT, PCIT, 1:1 ABA, PCAT), testing (neuropsych, psychoEd, FBA/BIP, ABA Skills Assessments) and educational (SEIT, SETTS, OG-Tutoring, EF coaching) services that can be funded via Impartial Hearing Orders.
For parents and special education attorneys interested in our DOE-funded services, here’s what makes us unique:
-
Our families are happy – According to a recent anonymous survey, our client family’s satisfaction rating is 93%, and 94% would recommend us other families. Parents frequently share positive feedback about our high level of professionalism, effectiveness and caring nature.
-
Quick staffing of cases – With more than 100 professionals on staff, we can intake, assess, and staff most cases within 4 weeks, across all 5 boroughs, Westchester and Long Island. This includes assessments and intervention cases of all ages, disabilities and amounts of hours. We also employ many Spanish-speaking clinicians to accommodate our Spanish-speaking clients.
-
Easy to work with – We value a collaborative working relationship with attorneys, from start to finish, to ensure the students win the awards they deserve. We are also extremely responsive, accountable and always available to discuss a case. Plus, we know how to effectively communicate with the IHOIU.
-
Highly successful at winning cases – We have a 100% success rate in securing services from our FBA/BIP and ABA Skills Evaluations, and all our evaluators are skilled at testimony and affidavits. As both psychologists and BCBAs, we are creative and assertive in problem-solving new solutions to old problems and can provide expert testimony and affidavits to secure services when there is no award to pay for evaluations.

Commercial Health Insurance ABA
When an individual or family wants to pay for ABA using their in-network insurance, the ABA is delivered by a behavior technician (BT) who is working under supervision of a BCBA/LBA who also provides parent training. In this situation, the insurance is billed directly for all services and the patient is responsible for any co-insurance or co-pays at the time of service. Many families prefer this option because is is the most cost-effective.
In addition to after school hours, we can provide ABA services early in the morning at home to help with waking up, eating, toileting, getting dressed and all the typical morning routines.
Further, we can accompany children into their daycare, nursery school and pre-schools to provide additional onsite ABA support at no cost to the program.

What makes our ABA program unique?
-
Experience – our staff are trained in various forms of ABA, such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Training (NET), Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge (PEAK) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). This gives us a depth and breadth of knowledge far beyond ABA alone, as team leaders, supervisors and direct service care providers.
-
Excellent Behavior Technicians – We have special affiliate relationships with the top BCBA programs in NYC (e.g., Hunter, Columbia, St Josephs, etc…) so we are able to provide RBTs/BTs with the most experience and best attitudes for working with children with autism.
-
Family Focus – our ABA clinicians are excellent at creating family-oriented, data-driven programs with real-world meaning. We focus on teaching independent life skills and reducing problematic behaviors, while also providing support to the entire family and across settings.
-
Naturalistic – our ABA meets the needs of the learner and changes over time as the patient builds mastery. Our BCBAs balance teaching discrete and real-world skills in a way that harnesses the therapist-patient relationship and external rewards.
-
Responsiveness – our administrative and clinical staff are dedicated and focused on making the overall experience positive, which means enhanced teamwork and better treatment fidelity. We work in all settings, early in the morning as well as after school, during the week and weekends!
