FAQs About School-Based Care
-
To receive IEP-based services within a school, they do not need an autism diagnosis. A school can contract us to provide services in school to cover services mandated by a student’s IEP.
We can send staff members to support a single student, a group of students with similar behavioral challenges, or an entire classroom. Our goal is to understand the unique needs of your student population and offer personalized services that can help students learn, grow, and mature.
To receive home-based insurance-based treatment, students must have an autism diagnosis. Individual parents or school personnel can refer a client here.

If one of our providers calls out due to an emergency or needs to take an extended leave, we will notify the school team immediately. For short-term coverage, we will attempt to locate another available provider in the area to cover the absence.
For longer-term absences, we will work to find a more permanent replacement to ensure the frequency and quality of our services remains exceptional. All costs associated with locating, onboarding, and dispatching substitute providers are our responsibility.
-
In some cases, our agency works with students in school on a one-to-one basis. If that student is absent, the provider would work in the classroom and help support other students as needed. They could also create useful resources for teachers and much more!
-
Our BCBAs create individualized programs that target students’ specific behavioral needs and/or IEP goals. Therapists collect data while providing treatment and share this information with the school team to monitor students’ progress toward reaching their target goals. Data is compiled into our proprietary mobile app, called ATrack, where authorized faculty can view charts, graphs, and other developmental information.
-
Our therapists receive extensive training and supervision from our BCBAs and Clinical Support teams before being placed in school settings. We provide all school-based providers with access to our 40-Hour RBT Course, an in-depth training module that prepares paraprofessionals to earn their RBT credential – an important accreditation in the ABA field that many states require.
Our agency also provides periodic Safety Care Training. If your school district has other training available, our providers would be happy to receive an invitation!

Applied ABC primarily offers in-person ABA therapy services, either in schools, at our autism therapy centers, or in the homes of our patient families. That said, we do provide virtual Social Skills Groups to interested students and families who may not regularly attend in-person classes throughout the week.

All Applied ABC employees receive background checks prior to employment as part of our standard onboarding process. We understand that school districts have their own pre-employment and HR-related needs, and we work hard to accommodate these requirements if requested.
