To schedule a BCBA-led in-home assessment in St. Louis through Heart Core ABA, you can follow these steps:

1. Initial Contact: Reach out to Heart Core ABA online or by phone to discuss your child’s needs. A regional coordinator specifically for the St. Louis area will be available to guide you, and bilingual options are provided for the community.
2. Insurance Verification: The team will perform a free verification of your Missouri autism insurance coverage, typically within 48 hours, so you understand your benefits before the assessment takes place.
3. Scheduling: In the St. Louis area, BCBAs are typically available to conduct the in-home assessment within 5 to 7 business days of your request.
4. Assessment Visit: A licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst will visit your home for 2 to 4 hours to conduct a functional behavior assessment, which includes parent interviews and natural environment observations.

To prepare for the visit, it is recommended that you clear a comfortable space for observation, gather relevant medical or school records, and maintain your child’s typical daily routine.
