You finally found the right answer. Now what?
Your pediatrician said the words. Maybe you already suspected. Maybe it came out of nowhere. Either way, you are now sitting with a diagnosis in one hand and a blank calendar in the other — wondering where to even start.
ABA therapy. You have heard it mentioned. You have Googled it at midnight. You have read things that were encouraging and things that were terrifying. And somewhere in there, someone told you there is a waiting list. That it could be months. That the paperwork alone takes weeks.
At WeClinic Health, we hear this from families every single week. And our answer is always the same: it does not have to be that hard. Here is exactly how it works — step by step, no jargon, no fine print.
From your first phone call to your child’s first therapy session: approximately two weeks. No waiting list.
Step 1: One phone call. That’s it.
The process starts with a single phone call to our team. You do not need to have all the documents ready. You do not need to have figured out the insurance yet. You just need to call.
In that first conversation, we will ask a few simple questions: your child’s age, their diagnosis, what insurance plan you have. We are not testing you. We are just making sure we can serve your family — and if we can, we tell you what happens next.
Most families spend less than 20 minutes on that first call. And they hang up knowing exactly what the next step is.
Step 2: We handle the insurance so you don’t have to.
Insurance authorization is the step that scares most parents. Forms. Codes. Authorization numbers. Deadlines. It sounds like a full-time job on top of the full-time job of raising your child.
Here is the good news: at WeClinic Health, our administrative team handles the authorization process for you. You give us the insurance information. We submit the documentation. We follow up. We handle the back-and-forth.
Authorization typically takes about three business days. We move fast because we know that every day your child waits is a day that matters.
Step 3: Your child meets their BCBA — in person.
Once authorization is in place, we schedule your child’s initial evaluation at our clinic in Aventura. This is a face-to-face session with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst — the clinical expert who will design your child’s entire therapy program.
This is not a formality. The evaluation is the foundation of everything. The BCBA spends time observing your child, using standardized tools to assess their current skills in communication, social interaction, behavior, and daily living. And just as importantly — they spend time talking to you.
Because you know your child. You know what they love, what overwhelms them, what a good day looks like and what a hard day looks like. That information is not background noise. It is clinical data. And a great BCBA knows the difference.
Step 4: A plan built for your child. Not a template. Not a protocol.
Based on the evaluation, your BCBA builds an Individual Treatment Plan — a written document that describes exactly what skills your child will work on, in what order, using which methods, and how progress will be measured.
This plan goes to your insurance for final approval. That step takes roughly three more business days. And then — therapy begins.
Step 5: The first session. The first real step.
Your child’s therapist — a trained Registered Behavior Technician supervised by their BCBA — arrives ready. The treatment plan is in place. The goals are set. The data collection has begun.
Sessions can happen at our Aventura clinic, at your child’s school, or in community settings. Wherever your child’s goals are best served — that is where therapy happens.
From the very first session, your family is part of the clinical team. You receive regular progress reports. You meet weekly with your child’s BCBA. You always know what is being worked on and why.
The full timeline — from call to first session
- Day 1: You call us. Intake qualification completed in one conversation.
- Days 2–4: Our team submits insurance authorization. (~3 business days)
- Day 5–6: Initial BCBA evaluation scheduled and completed at our Aventura clinic.
- Days 7–9: Individual Treatment Plan developed and submitted to insurer. (~3 business days)
- Day 10–14: Authorization confirmed. Daily therapy sessions begin.
Two weeks. That is the realistic timeline for most families at WeClinic Health. Not months. Not a waiting list. Two weeks.
Why does this matter so much?
Because the research on ABA therapy is clear: the earlier a child starts, the better the outcomes. Every week without structured, evidence-based intervention is a week the developing brain is not receiving the input it needs most.
We built our intake process the way we did because we understand what is at stake. Speed is not a marketing promise at WeClinic Health. It is a clinical commitment.
