Care Coordination
Care coordination means your child's ABA program is aligned with their other providers — speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, teachers, and physicians — so everyone is working toward the same goals instead of each pulling in a different direction.
What this looks like
- Sharing goals and progress with your child's SLP so communication targets reinforce each other.
- Coordinating with an OT so motor and self-care goals don't conflict.
- Talking to a teacher about what's working at home.
- Making sure you aren't the person relaying information between four professionals.
Skills we commonly target
- One set of aligned goals across providers
- Consistent communication targets with an SLP
- Self-care and motor goals that complement OT work
- Classroom strategies that match home strategies
- Fewer conflicting instructions for your child
How sessions run
Coordination happens around your child's sessions rather than taking time out of them. That can be a conversation with a speech therapist about which requests to prioritize, a note to a teacher about a strategy that is working at home, or a shared summary of progress ahead of a review. What it produces shows up inside sessions as goals that fit together.
How progress is measured
Progress is tracked continuously using data collected during sessions. Goals are reviewed and adjusted as your child grows and changes.
Your role
You decide who we talk to and what is shared. You also know things no provider does — what your child did over the weekend, what changed at school, what stopped working. Telling us keeps coordination grounded in the actual week rather than in what each professional sees during their own hour.
Your permission comes first
You give permission before we share anything with another provider. Coordination happens because you asked for it, not by default. If you would rather keep your child’s ABA program separate from their other services, that is a legitimate choice and we will work that way.
Why alignment matters more than it sounds
A child working with several professionals can end up learning several different versions of the same skill. One system for requesting at speech therapy, another at home. One approach to a difficult moment in the classroom, a different one in the evening. None of that is anyone’s fault; it is what happens when providers work in parallel without talking to each other.
Alignment also takes a job off you. Without coordination, the parent becomes the messenger between four professionals, repeating the same update in four conversations and hoping nothing is lost along the way. That is not a reasonable thing to ask of a family already managing appointments, school, and the rest of a household.

Common questions
Do you share information with our other providers automatically?
No. You give permission before we share anything with another provider. Coordination happens because you asked for it, not by default.
Which providers do you coordinate with?
Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, teachers, and physicians — whoever is part of your child's care. The aim is that everyone works toward the same goals instead of each pulling in a different direction.
What does coordination change day to day?
Mostly it means you are not the person relaying information between four professionals. Communication targets reinforce each other, motor and self-care goals stop conflicting, and what is working at home reaches the classroom without you having to carry the message.
