Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Lawrence

Which early intervention programs serve Lawrence?
The state lists MENTOR South Bay Early Childhood, which has a Lawrence office on Merrimack Street, and Partners in Child Development Early Intervention. Either can take a referral for a child under three. Ask about Spanish-speaking staff and how soon they can evaluate.
Can ABA parent training happen in Spanish?
Ask every provider before you sign. Parent coaching is a core part of ABA, and it only works if you understand it. Ask whether the BCBA speaks Spanish or uses an interpreter, and whether written plans and progress reports come in Spanish.
My child has MassHealth. What do we need for ABA?
Usually an autism diagnosis from a licensed physician or licensed psychologist, a provider in your MassHealth plan's network, and prior authorization. Ask the provider to check eligibility before the assessment, and call your plan if the provider says it is out of network.
How do I ask Lawrence Public Schools for an evaluation?
Write a dated letter to the district special education office asking for an evaluation and describing your concerns. You can write it in Spanish. Keep a copy and ask for meetings with an interpreter if you need one. The evaluation request guide shows what to include.
Is it worth looking at clinics in Andover or Methuen?
It can be, since both share Lawrence's early intervention catchment and are a short drive on I-495 or Route 28. Compare the weekly trip at session time and whether in-home staff already work in your neighborhood before choosing a farther clinic.
