3 Steps to Starting ABA Therapy
Getting started is simple. Our team guides your family through every step.
1
Your Initial Consultation
Our journey together starts with a conversation. We’ll sit down with you to hear your story, discuss your child’s developmental history, and understand your specific concerns. This is a no-judgment zone where your observations are valued.
2
The Evaluation
Using the most respected and up-to-date assessment tools (like the ADOS-2), our psychologist will interact with your child in a gentle, play-based environment. We observe their communication, social, and behavioral patterns to get a complete and accurate picture of their unique profile.
3
Treatment Plan
At this stage, we’ll explain the results of the evaluation in clear, simple language. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan with recommendations for therapy, school support, and community resources to help your child grow.

Tuckahoe families seeking an autism evaluation often wait 6 to 12 months or longer, delaying access to answers and support.
