FAQs

Little Leaves primarily offers center-based services for young children with autism which are run in a preschool-like setting. At the center, each client works one-on-one with a trained behavior technician on individualized goals with a focus on social communication, social interactions, and school readiness skills. Our program runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm. During the day, children have the opportunity to participate in individual therapy time, small group activities with peers, and activities of daily living. While many clients are at our centers for the full day, an individualized schedule is developed for each child based on his/her therapeutic needs. Little Leaves also works with clients in their homes, daycares, and preschools, most frequently when clients are ready to transition from a Little Leaves center into community setting.
Little Leaves serves children with Autism. With our focus on early intervention, Little Leaves works primarily with children from the time they are diagnosed until they enter kindergarten.
Little Leaves only provides ABA therapy but we regularly collaborate with a child’s speech and OT providers to ensure a coordinated team-approach to treatment. At our centers, we are usually able to accommodate outside therapy providers who would like to come in to see clients during the day.
Contact us to learn more about our services and if they are right for your family.
Little Leaves is in network with many insurance plans and fully supports families in accessing and using their insurance benefits. Not all insurance companies, however, cover ABA for the treatment of autism. Please visit our Insurance page to learn about our plans and how to research whether your plan covers autism. You can also feel free to reach out to us, and we can help you research your benefits.
