Families choose our team because we understand local logistics and local systems. We regularly support military households connected to Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and Naval Air Station Oceana, and our coordinators are experienced with Tricare authorizations and continuity during PCS transitions.
We also design treatment for real regional constraints. Bridge-tunnel commutes can make frequent center visits unrealistic, so families can blend center-based and in-home care while keeping one BCBA-led plan. Our clinicians coordinate with local school districts so goals stay aligned between therapy, classroom, and home.
Virginia’s autism insurance law was enacted in 2012 and expanded in 2019 and 2020 to broaden covered ages and plan types. We’re in-network with Virginia Medicaid, Tricare, and most major commercial plans. Our team handles verification and authorizations on your behalf.
Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and Naval Air Station Oceana put thousands of military families in our service area. We’re set up for Tricare’s Autism Care Demonstration and can guide PCS families through transferring care.

Many local families prefer the convenience and comfort of in-home therapy. Our Registered Behavior Technicians travel to homes throughout Suffolk, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News to deliver the same high-quality, BCBA-supervised therapy available at our center.
With regional traffic, driving to a center multiple days a week adds stress to an already full schedule. In-home therapy eliminates the commute and gives your child that time back for learning. Your BCBA coordinates directly with you to align therapy goals with your family’s routines, priorities, and long-term vision for your child.
