Not Sure What Type of Support You Need?

That Is Okay.

Some families come to Ascent seeking ABA services. Others are looking for caregiver coaching, parent training, developmental consultation, family support, or guidance on next steps. We will help you understand available options and determine what may be the best fit for your child and family.

A Low-Pressure First Step

Reaching Out Should Feel Simple

Whether you are wondering about ABA therapy, caregiver coaching, parent training, developmental consultation, or family support, the first step is simply a conversation.

We will listen, answer your questions, and help you think through what comes next — no pressure, no need to have it all figured out.

We can talk about:

  • ABA services
  • Caregiver coaching
  • Parent training
  • Developmental consultation
  • Family support
  • Social learning or group-based services
  • Not sure yet — that is okay too

Helpful Documents to Have Available

You do not need to have every document ready before reaching out. However, if you are seeking insurance-funded ABA services, it may be helpful to have a copy of your child's diagnostic evaluation, insurance card, and any recent treatment or school-related reports.

For ABA insurance authorization, many payers require a formal Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis (F84.0) and documentation supporting medical necessity. If you are unsure whether your child's evaluation includes the needed information, you can still submit an inquiry and we will help clarify next steps.

Interested in School Support?

If you are seeking school-based observation, consultation, or collaboration, please mention this in your inquiry. School-based services are reviewed case by case and may depend on clinical need, insurance requirements, caregiver consent, school approval, and whether outside providers are permitted on school grounds.

You do not need to have school permission before reaching out. We can help clarify what information may be needed before school-based support can be considered.

Secure Inquiry Form

This form is completed through SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant platform used for healthcare communication and intake. Information submitted through this form helps us understand your inquiry and determine appropriate next steps.

Completing this form does not guarantee services or establish a provider-client relationship. A formal service relationship begins only after appropriate intake, consent, documentation, and service agreement processes are completed.
