Guidance on Services from Outside Providers

Following a thorough autism evaluation, families often face the question: “What comes next?” At RiseNow, we provide clear, personalized guidance on evidence-based services and specialists that can best support your child’s unique profile.

For children who would benefit from structured behavioral support, we offer in-depth parent education on ABA principles and general behavioral strategies through our expert BCBAs. This program teaches caregivers how to understand and apply ABA concepts at home, preparing them to work more effectively with their child’s future ABA provider. We do not conduct Functional Behavior Assessments or provide direct treatment to the child; instead, we equip parents with foundational knowledge and practical tools so they can confidently partner with local ABA therapists for individualized intervention.

When speech delays are prominent, we explain the role of speech-language pathology and help families identify key questions to ask potential therapists. For sensory or fine-motor challenges, we discuss occupational therapy’s benefits and guide parents on what to look for in a provider. Gross motor concerns may warrant physical therapy, and we offer direction on recognizing when this support is needed.

Social communication difficulties often respond well to targeted interventions, and we help families explore options that fit their child’s age and interests. Throughout this process, we emphasize that the “right” therapy depends on the individual child, family priorities, and logistical realities. We provide practical tools for researching local providers, understanding insurance coverage, and making informed decisions.

Our guidance is designed to serve as a trusted roadmap through the often-overwhelming landscape of autism services, ensuring your child receives the right support at the right time from providers who truly understand their needs. By equipping you with knowledge and direction, we help turn the question “What now?” into a clear path forward.
