For pediatricians, IEP teams, and county staff: we serve children ages 2–12 with ASD or related conditions — center-based in Golden Valley or in-home across most of Minnesota.
Helpful to include: family contact, child's age, diagnosis or evaluation records if available, and coverage information. Missing pieces never block a referral — we gather the rest during intake.
Five short steps, right below. The fastest path to a scheduled first call.
(952) 900-2344 — Mon–Fri 8:00am–5:00pm. Good for a quick eligibility check before referring.
(952) 443-8616 — records and referral documents welcome.
Five steps: your information, the family's, the services needed, coverage, and consent. Our intake team follows up with the family — and with you, the way you asked to be reached.
Please confirm you have the parent or guardian's consent before sharing their information.
One short answer for each professional we hear from most — with the page that carries the detail.
EIDBI eligibility runs through the CMDE, and we facilitate that evaluation through independent partner agencies during intake — so a referral doesn't need a completed eval attached. Existing diagnosis or evaluation records help us move faster.
ABA therapy complements school services rather than replacing them — we coordinate with IEP goals and schedules so a child's supports pull in the same direction.
We help families navigate MA and TEFRA paths into coverage and take on the intake paperwork — useful when a family you support needs care coordination more than another form.
The four questions referrers ask most, answered the way we'd answer on the phone.
Yes. Diagnosis status is handled flexibly — we facilitate the child's CMDE through independent partner agencies as part of intake, and a valid existing evaluation can be reused.
Straight MA (fee-for-service Medical Assistance) and Blue Cross Blue Shield PMAP. For families with other coverage, TEFRA and MinnesotaCare can be paths into MA — we counsel families on those options by phone, so an "other" answer on the form is still worth submitting.
Center-based services at our Golden Valley center for the Twin Cities metro; in-home services across most of Minnesota, confirmed case by case during the first call.
The form asks for your preferred contact method — phone, email, or fax — and our intake team follows up with you directly, alongside the family.
