Rooted in Care, Blooming with Success

We know that choosing to explore ABA therapy for your child is a deeply personal decision—one that often comes with many questions, emotions, and uncertainties. At Roots to Blooms, we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Our mission is to build a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming team of providers who truly understand and honor the unique strengths of your child. We’re committed to creating a supportive environment where your child or young adult, ages 2-21—can thrive.

Before you meet with our intake team, we hope the following information offers clarity and comfort, and helps you feel more confident as we begin this journey together.

If you have questions about your coverage or don’t see your provider listed, our Intake Manager will be happy to assist you during your initial call. We’re here to help make this process smooth and supportive for your family.

At Roots to Blooms, we’re deeply committed to supporting your child and family with compassionate, high-quality ABA Therapy and related services. From the very first interaction, we want you to feel the difference—this isn’t just intake, it’s the beginning of a meaningful partnership.

Within the next 24 business hours, our Intake Manager will be reaching out by phone or email. During this conversation, we’ll take the time to truly listen—to understand your child’s unique needs, your family’s journey, and what you’re hoping to find in a provider. We believe that care starts with connection, and we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

During the call, we’ll gently explore:

• Your child’s diagnosis and any previous therapy experiences

• What matters most to your family in a provider

• Insurance details and documentation (including your diagnostic evaluation)-the out-of-pocket expense you may expect

• A brief questionnaire to help us move forward with an assessment, if you choose to proceed

Where care grows, and potential blossoms.

Roots to Blooms was born from the hearts of parents and clinicians who share a bold vision: that services for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder should be deeply personal, empowering, and rooted in meaningful connection. We believe every child—and every family—deserves care that honors their individuality and helps them thrive.

✨ A Holistic Approach to Care

We know that no two families are alike. That’s why we tailor our services to meet your unique needs—whether at home, in school, or out in the community. While therapeutic standards guide us, your goals shape the journey. Our mission is to provide support that’s not only effective, but accessible and affirming.

🤝 Beyond ABA: A Network of Support To serve the whole family, we proudly collaborate with trusted partners in:

• Occupational Therapy

• Speech & Language Services

• Psychology

• Educational Advocacy

Together, we’re building a circle of care that extends far beyond therapy—because families deserve more than a service, they deserve a community.

🎉 Community Connections That Matter We’re also teaming up with local organizations to bring families inclusive, joyful experiences like:

• Sensory-friendly haircuts

• Family fun days

• Weekend camps

These events are designed to celebrate every child’s uniqueness and create spaces where families can connect, relax, and grow together.

Roots to Blooms is proud to serve families in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties—and we can’t wait to welcome you into our community.

🌿 Your Journey from Intake to Direct Services at Roots to Blooms 🌿

We understand that starting ABA services can feel overwhelming, and we’re here to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible. Our goal is to keep you informed and cared for every step of the way.

📝 Step 1: Approval & Insurance Verification

Once you’ve confirmed you'd like to move forward with us, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and request authorization for an initial assessment.

• Typical timeline: Most insurance providers respond within 14–21 business days, though some may be quicker.

📞 Step 2: Scheduling Your Assessment

Upon receiving authorization, our Intake Manager will contact you to schedule the first part of your assessment.

• You’ll receive the Vineland Assessment to complete online prior to your initial interview.

• The interview will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams.

• Following that, our BCBA will schedule an in-person evaluation, which may take 1–3 visits, depending on your child’s needs.

🧠 Step 3: Creating Your Treatment Plan

Once all assessment data is collected, our clinical team will thoughtfully develop a personalized Treatment Plan tailored to your child and family.

• Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, we focus on building a plan that reflects your goals and your child’s unique strengths and challenges.

• This process may take up to 4 weeks to ensure the highest quality care.

📬 Step 4: Review & Authorization for Services

You’ll receive the completed Treatment Plan via DocuSign for review and signature.

• Once signed, we’ll submit it to your insurance for authorization of direct therapy services.

• Typical response time: 2–3 weeks from submission.

🚀 Step 5: Scheduling Services

As soon as we receive authorization, we’ll contact you to begin scheduling your child’s therapy sessions.

We offer in-home, community-based, and virtual therapy sessions to meet families where they are most comfortable.

Coverage varies depending on your plan and the type of therapy. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand what’s included before services begin.

We support children from early childhood through adolescence, tailoring services to each developmental stage.
