What we offer

Built around each child, family, and classroom

Early support for kids. Real support for families.

3K offers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in our clinic for children ages 3 to 8 and in the home for all ages, mental health counseling for children, teens, and adults, autism evaluations by telehealth, and behavior support partnerships for daycares. Many families use more than one, with one team that talks to each other.

Program one

ABA therapy

Skills that carry over into everyday life

ABA uses play, practice, and positive reinforcement to build the skills young children need at home, at school, and with friends. Sessions happen where your child lives and learns: at home, in our clinic, and out in the community. Our clinic program serves children ages 3 to 8, and in-home ABA is available for all ages.

Ages
Clinic: 3 to 8 · In-home: all ages

Autism evaluations

Get your child evaluated, without the long wait

A diagnosis is the first step to ABA

Most insurance plans need an autism diagnosis before ABA can begin, and families often wait months for one. 3K partners with a licensed psychologist who completes autism evaluations by telehealth, so your child can be seen sooner.

Request an evaluationDoctors: refer a family

  1. Request an evaluation

    Call us or fill out the form. A referral from your pediatrician helps, and we'll guide you if you don't have one yet.

  2. We check your insurance

    Our team confirms coverage and schedules your telehealth visit.

  3. Meet the psychologist

    The psychologist talks with you and observes your child by video, then completes a full evaluation.

  4. Get your results and next steps

    You'll receive a written report. If ABA is recommended, you can choose any ABA provider, and we'd be glad to be yours.

Coming soon

Ocean is 3K's free network for autism families. Get parent workshops, guides on what to expect, check-ins before your visit, and a community of families who've been there. Joining is optional and free, wherever you choose to get care.

Getting started

From first call to first session

We handle the insurance paperwork. You'll always know which step you're on.

  1. Intake call

    Tell us about your child or yourself and what you're hoping for.

  2. Insurance check

    We verify your benefits and tell you what's covered.

  3. Assessment

    For ABA, a BCBA observes your child and meets with you. For counseling, your first visit.

  4. Your plan

    We share goals with you and request any insurance approval needed.

  5. Sessions begin

    Regular sessions start, with progress updates along the way.

Questions families ask

Good to know

Does my child need an autism diagnosis to start ABA?

In most cases, insurance requires an autism diagnosis before ABA can begin. If you don't have one yet, call us and we'll help you figure out the next step.

How many hours of ABA will my child get?

It depends on your child. After the assessment, the BCBA recommends a number of hours based on your child's goals, and your insurance approves the plan.

Can I be involved in my child's sessions?

Yes. Parent training is part of every ABA plan, and we'll show you how to practice skills at home.

Can a parent get counseling while their child is in ABA?

Yes. Our counseling program is open to parents and caregivers. Sessions are by telehealth, so you can join from home around your child's schedule.

What if my insurance isn't listed?

Send an intake request anyway. We'll check your coverage and let you know your options. We also accept private pay for all services.
