How is your approach different from other autism treatment programs?
At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, we view autism differently. From the very first consult, we take the time to understand you or your loved one’s strengths, skills, and interests, and personalize an approach that’s best suited to the individual. This may include developing a behavior plan, working with our skilled consultants and technicians, exploring medication management options, considering dietary and nutritional needs, and more.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we do offer a subscription-based model for behavior services, which accepts certain insurance plans for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) levels of care.
What types of autism treatment & support do you offer?
Our autism services include behavior services with consultation and support from a behavior technician, Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA), parent training and coaching, school support such as IEP collaboration and behavior plan development, outpatient therapy, medication management, dietary and nutritional consultation, and social skills groups.
Do you offer in-person and/or virtual therapy sessions?
Yes, we provide virtual/telehealth sessions for most programs to ensure flexible, accessible care. Our experienced Behavior Technicians and Consultants are also available for in-home, in-school, and community-based sessions throughout the Philadelphia area—bringing support wherever it’s needed most.
How do you tailor autism treatment plans to each person’s needs?
For individuals with autism, we begin with a comprehensive functional behavior assessment to understand challenging behaviors, strengths, communication styles, and sensory preferences, then use that insight to create a personalized treatment plan focused on teaching meaningful, effective strategies to improve daily life.
Do you help with IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or 504 Plan development?
Yes! Our Behavior Consultants are very skilled in consulting on IEP, 504, and PBSP goals and can collect data, complete FBAs, and attend IEP meetings towards this collaboration.
Do I need an official autism diagnosis for autism or behavior services?
Behavior services are beneficial to anyone who would like to learn more adaptive behavior / social skills regardless of diagnosis. However, some insurance providers will not cover Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services without an autism diagnosis - in that case, services could still be provided under our private pay model.
