Getting started with ABS is easier than ever……..

 

Simply complete the Request for Services form below.  Our clinical team will then work to evaluate the referral and obtain an authorization for services based on the individual’s current benefits and needs. (We typically respond within two business days).

ABS accepts a variety of funding sources including: Med-Waiver, Florida Medicaid, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, CMS and more. We also have private pay scales should you not meet criteria for insurance or other funding sources.

Important to read: Medicaid and private insurance companies only recognize behavioral therapy as medical treatment for the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (i.e., PDD-NOS, Asperger’s and Autistic Disorder). Individuals must be between the ages of 2-21 years of age, or maintain and active IEP and diagnosed by a medical doctor. If an individual does not have a diagnosis of ASD or falls outside these guidelines then he or she is not eligible for these services through these funding sources.

ABS serves children and adults with behavioral and mental health challenges. Typically, we support individuals who require assistance in:

  • The enhancement of language skills to allow more effective communication of an individual’s needs and wants.
  • Improving adaptive and functional skills (e.g., daily living, self-regulation) that will lead to furthering independence
  • Extinguishing problem behaviors such as noncompliance, physical and verbal aggression, self-injury, elopement, and property destruction that hinder their ability to develop skills and participate successfully in integrated settings.
