For families looking to begin a home-based educational program for their child with Autism getting started is the hardest part! From finding an effective consultant and therapists, to jumping thru insurance hoops or financial burdens. As difficult to start off and financially draining as a home-program can be for families they can be the most effective way to take your child’s skill deficits and learning into your own hands. Once a program is up and running with all the necessary components parents are on the front line of their child’s learning and progress in deficit areas. Parents will begin to see on a daily basis progress toward long-term objectives such as expressive and social language, play, self-help and daily living skills, academi skills, etc.
For parents looking to begin a home program finding an effective consultant is essential. Find a consultant who speaks of and uses data to make decisions on your child’s programming. Data-based decision-making is a must!
Develop an understanding of the insurance laws in your state regarding coverage. Begin the process of getting your provider set up and approved at least 30-60 days before you begin services to your child.
Decide upon who will be delivering the daily therapy to you child. For some families parents or other family members can serve as line therapists, for others hiring outside staff to deliver daily services is more effective. In many cases both consultation and line therapy services can be covered by insurance.
