BlueSprig Behavior Center

We do offer Speech and Language Therapy in select locations. Is common for us to consult with our Speech and Language Pathologists and external Speech and Language Pathologists when designing the treatment plan and targeting communication skills.

Absolutely! You are a key component of treatment and are welcome and encouraged to participate in therapy whether at our clinic or in your home. Additionally, we will conduct frequent caregiver collaboration meetings to involve you in the development and revision of the treatment plan to ensure we include your priorities. We will work to together every step of the way!

In most cases, a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder is required for insurance to cover treatment. Contact us to learn about exceptions.

Yes, our Clinicians are Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) with a MA or PhD level education and our technicians are certified as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). The professional organization that oversees certification is called the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).

Caregiver participation is required throughout the program to support the individual’s success in the transition back to community services. Our goal is to teach caregivers how to implement the intervention that we have learned works best for the individual and then we will gradually ask you to practice at home. We will work with you to identify times each week that you can come consistently. Typically, one hour each week is expected at the beginning of admission, and this increases as admission progresses.

Your child’s team will include a board-certified behavior analyst and trained registered behavior technicians who have specialized training in the assessment and treatment of severe behavior. We have a high ratio of staffing and supervision to ensure safe and effective service delivery.

We are still developing partnerships for housing (e.g., local hotels, Ronald McDonald House). Some of our out-of-town families have booked long-term stays through organizations like AirBnB. Please contact our treatment team for any updates!

Yes! You are always welcome to attend appointments. There are also spaces in the building that you can work out of and take breaks. We are happy to give you a tour when you start to show you these spaces.

The goal of the clinic is to identify and assess behavioral barriers and address them using best practice applied behavior analysis treatments developed by our team in collaboration with the individual and their caregivers. We teach safe replacement behaviors to communicate wants and needs and help to build tolerance and coping skills. Typically, the service will be divided into three parts: clinical assessment, treatment evaluation, and transition preparations. We incorporate intensive caregiver collaboration and education throughout the entire duration of admission.

We provide two types of services (i.e., full-day or half-day services) that take place Monday through Friday based on the individual’s needs. There are various factors that help us decide the best treatment option that is informed by behavior severity and current progress toward goals. We will work with you every step of the way to identify the plan that works best for the individual and their family.

The duration of admission will be based on the individual meeting the goals that we set with you at the start of the admission but is typically a minimum of 3 months. We will communicate with you throughout the admission if anything needs to change to get your thoughts and approval.
