Common questions
What does a BCBA do?
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst uses the science of behavior to understand why behavior happens and to build meaningful skills. Read the full guide.
Who do you work with?
Families and caregivers first, plus schools, childcare centers, and the professionals involved in a child's care and education.
What areas do you serve?
Thrive is based in Muncie, Indiana, and serves the surrounding communities, including Yorktown, Gaston, Daleville, Selma, Eaton, and Albany. Virtual parent coaching is available for families outside the Muncie area. For schools, Delainie serves Delaware County and nearby communities. More on where sessions happen.
How much does an assessment cost?
It depends on the complexity of the case and the amount of assessment needed. You'll receive a written estimate before a comprehensive assessment begins.
Do you accept insurance?
Services are currently private pay. After each session you’ll receive a superbill to submit to your insurance company, and depending on your plan, insurance may reimburse part or all of the cost. Pricing is discussed during a free 15-minute consultation call, and you’ll receive a cost estimate before services begin.
Can schools contract with Thrive?
Yes. Contracts can include scheduled consultation hours, observations, staff training, team meetings, and program development. See school services.
