[quote=Anonymous] Each insurance has different procedural requirements for initiating and receiving ABA services so first step call them, get a provider list, and see what you need and in what order. You will also want to schedule an initial ABA eval with one of those providers. After that you can evaluate best options, right now you’re missing too many puzzle pieces.

If you want an outside provider in a Public school and the school tells you no then hire a lawyer. There’s a lot of legalities I’m not privy to but ultimately IMO it comes down to 1) is the need there & not being met 2) can the need be met by the school system- if not currently are they willing to hire to meet that additional need 3) if need cannot be met by the school system, does the outside provider provide value 4) if 1,2, & 3 are all met but the parent still wants an outside provider & school is still denying, then does the outside provider bring additional (key word) value to the table. I’ve yet to be denied but I am highly educated and experienced, and sometimes additional education really has been the key to being allowed in. Find someone very well educated and well experienced before you head down this road with a resistant school system.  Also, the lawyer is not optional, no provider will navigate this themselves they’ll tell you to get a lawyer.
