Tips for a Great Ready Set Connect Experience
Attendance
In order for us to provide the very finest therapeutic experience for your child, we ask for
families to ensure that attendance is regular. If you have to cancel a session, please let us know
as soon as you can when you have a cancellation so we can adjust our schedule.
If attendance becomes an ongoing challenge, we will set up a meeting between you and your
BCBA to discuss a plan that works going forward. Ready Set Connect serves many children and
a dependable schedule is vital for our therapists to provide as much service to as many families
as possible.
For cancellations, please contact your child’s Site Director or Scheduler:

Parent Involvement
A central aspect of Ready Set Connect’s approach is a close partnership with the child’s family.
As our goal is to help our children gain the skills that will translate into success outside of our
clinic, we place immense value on an ongoing relationship with parents. We offer regular
trainings and monthly clinic meetings with your child’s BCBA, where you will get updates on
progress as well as helpful tips and tactics that you can use at home. These opportunities for
engagement are critical in your child’s future success!
Do not forget the Supplies!
Please remember to keep your child’s backpack filled with all necessary daily supplies like
diapers, wipes, a clean change of clothes, snacks, or any other items you may have discussed
with your BCBA.

Physician Sample Letter for Insurance Authorization
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SAMPLE ONLY. THE PHYSICIAN’S LETTER MUST BE
WRITTEN ON THE PHYSICIAN’S OFFICIAL LETTERHEAD
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a pediatrician (___________) who has provided care to __________from 20____ to
present. __________was diagnosed as autistic in early childhood. He/she currently meets the
diagnostic criteria for autistic disorder 299.00. Specifically she shows (A.1) marked impairment
in the use of nonverbal behaviors, (A.2) failure to develop peer relationships, (A.3) lack of
spontaneous seeking to share interests, (A.4) lack of social or emotional reciprocity as well as,
(B.1) delay in development of spoken language, (B.3) stereotyped and repetitive use of language,
(B.4) lack of social imitative play, and (C.2) inflexible adherence to routines or rituals, and (C.3)
stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is the best-established most evidence-based approach for
the treatment of autism spectrum disorders. An intensive ABA program is medically necessary
for the treatment of autism because its effectiveness has been clearly established through well-
controlled scientific studies. Research has shown that ABA therapy helps to address the
behaviors, speech/language/communication impairments, and social difficulties that children
with autism spectrum disorders exhibit.
Therefore, intensive ABA therapy services are medically necessary for____________ to
ameliorate __________’s condition of autism by improving his/her functional level.

Nut Allergen Policy
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Multiple children at Ready Set Connect have severe food allergies to various kinds of nuts. We
are asking your help to provide all children with a safe environment here at Ready Set Connect.
To reduce the chance of an allergic reaction, we ask that you do not send any nut products to
Ready Set Connect in a snack or a lunch. If your child has eaten any form of nuts before coming
to Ready Set Connect, please be sure that your child’s hands and face are thoroughly washed
before coming into the Clinic. It is important that there is strict avoidance of this food in order to
prevent a life-threatening allergic reaction.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Please fill out the bottom section of this form and
return it to Ready Set Connect with your child.
I have read and understand the nut free procedures for Ready Set Connect and I agree to
do my part in keeping Ready Set Connect nut free.

IN-PERSON PARENT-FOCUSED ABA TRAINING
Parenting a child with Autism requires much support and
a specialized set of skills. Since all families have unique
needs and preferences, we have developed a variety of
different formats for supporting parents with the skills to
promote the successful development of their child.
Ready Set Connect is now offering the opportunity for
parents to come to one of our centers and to meet with a
BCBA, who will provide instruction on specific ABA
skills and evidence-based practices and curriculum.
Everyone at Ready Set Connect is invested in supporting
each child and helping them thrive in all settings of their
life. Teaching skills that can only be demonstrated in a
clinic setting with staff is not enough for us;. we want to see children generalize what they learn
at Ready Set Connect and apply these skills at home and in the community.
To accomplish this, we want to establish a partnership between our BCBAs and the parents.
Using parent input, Ready Set Connect staff will set goals for what the child can practice at home
and what the parent can do to help. With the help of our training, you and your child will
meet these goals.
We’ll start small with whatever you can manage and then with our support you will find yourself
teaching your child skills you may never thought possible!
Trainings will happen in each of our centers, scheduled at an agreed upon time between families
and the BCBA. We will follow all necessary COVID-19 protocols. Please provide 24 hour notice
by calling or emailing your child’s center if you need to reschedule an appointment.
COVID protocols
Limited to two outside family members

Parent’s Role in Treatment
The importance of parents and guardians at RSC
Parents and guardians are critical members of the treatment team at Ready Set Connect. Their
participation in the treatment process is one of the most important components of a successful
outcome. Our staff’s expertise in Applied Behavior Analysis is simply not enough to insure that your
child receives the best possible treatment. We need your help to make sure your child gets the most
out of their RSC experience. We completely understand that each family’s needs and resources are
different so we create a customized plan for every child and their parents/guardians. There are just a
few simple things that we need your help
How can you assist with your child’s treatment?
Parent - Focused ABA Training- Parenting a child with Autism requires a lot of support and a specialized
set of skills. Since all families have unique needs and preferences, we have developed a variety of
different formats for providing parents with the skills to promote the successful development of their
child. Our clinicians utilize evidence based practices and curriculum to instruct parents in the specific
skills that are required for their child. What we need is a commitment to participate in the scheduled
sessions.
Set Goals for Home: Everyone involved in your child’s treatment is invested in having them thrive in all
settings of their life. Teaching your child skills that they can only demonstrate in our clinic or improving
their behavior only with our staff is just not enough for us. We want them to “generalize” what they
learn at Ready Set Connect to their home and community. To accomplish that, we will set some goals
with you for what your child can practice when they are at home with you. We’ll start small with
whatever you can manage and then with our support you will find yourself teaching your child skills you
may never have thought possible.
Provide us with Information: Data is the cornerstone of Applied Behavior Analysis. We make all of our
treatment decisions based on our rigorous data collection. We also know that many parents want to
know with some certainty how their child is progressing. It is very important for us as well to know how
your child is doing at home. While we don’t expect you to collect data on tablets like we do, we will ask
you to provide us with some manageable information about your child’s progress at home. The same as
your child’s pediatrician will want to know your child’s temperature if they prescribe medication
because of a fever, we’ll want to know objectively how well they are behaving or performing a skill at
home. Additionally it is always helpful when we are made aware of any life changes (e.g., an upcoming
change in residence, someone moving in or out of the house, a family illness or traumatic event). We
may be able to help your child adjust to these life events.
Attendance: Help us with your child’s regular attendance. Our ABA therapists are scheduled such that
your child will receive 1:1 treatment every minute they are scheduled at our clinic. Everyone has a
different definition of “good” attendance. For us, 90% is the attendance standard that we seek to
25

maintain. While we know things can occasionally happen, if attendance drops below 90% for a period of
time we will likely be in touch to determine what we can adjust to help it improve. Also, prompt drop
off and pick up according to your child’s schedule is very important for the effective delivery of our
services. If your child is going to be absent, or an emergency requires you to be late either dropping off
or picking up, we ask that you call us. If your child is more than 15 minutes late, we may need to cancel
that session.
