For referral partners

A referral partner you can rely on.

Pediatricians, schools, therapists, and agencies refer families to us for ABA therapy at home and at school. We reach out to the family, and we keep you in the loop.

How to refer

Three simple steps

  1. Talk with the family

    Let the family know about NorthStar ABA, and make sure they're happy for us to contact them.

  2. Send us their contact details

    Use the referral form, call us, or fax us. The form is for contact details only.

  3. We take it from here

    We contact the family within [timeframe], answer their questions, and help with insurance and intake. Then we let you know how it went.

What we need

Just enough to reach the family

To get started, we only need a way to contact the family. We'll gather everything else with them directly, during intake.

For a referral, please share

  1. Your name and practice, school, or agency, plus your phone and email.
  2. The parent or caregiver's name and phone number.
  3. The family's OK for NorthStar to contact them.
  4. Their borough, so we know they're in our New York City service area.

Sending clinical records

Some families will need a diagnostic evaluation or a referral for ABA from a licensed provider. Please send these by fax to [FAX], not by email or through this website. [Confirm secure records method]

Questions

Common questions from referrers

Who can refer a family?

Anyone who works with the family, including pediatricians, teachers, school staff, therapists, and care coordinators. Families can also contact us directly, using the form on our home page.

Does the child need a diagnosis first?

Most insurance plans need a diagnosis from a licensed provider and a referral for ABA before they'll cover it. If the family doesn't have these yet, refer them anyway, and we'll talk through next steps with them. [Confirm]

Where do you provide services?

We provide ABA therapy at home and at school for families in New York City. We don't offer center-based therapy right now. [Confirm all five boroughs]

Which insurance plans do you accept?

See our insurance page for the plans we accept. We help each family check their coverage before services begin.

Will you update me on the family's progress?

We send you a short update once intake is complete. After that, we can share progress and coordinate with you, as long as the family gives written permission.

Thank you for thinking of us.

Every referral is a family looking for a clear path. We'll take good care of them.
