We currently have a waiting list for a variety of our services. We first meet for a free intake interview to assess your needs and the needs of your family. If you need help and there is a waitlist for that service, it is suggested to get on a few waitlists so you receive services as soon as possible. When we have an opening for therapy you will be matched with a therapist who will offer services.

In order to have an assessment in any of our services (Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy or Applied Behavior Analysis), we offer a free initial intake meeting to discuss your needs and the services we offer. On our website, you can fill out the intake form and we will contact you within the next 24 hours to discuss a date and time for our meeting.

At La Ruche, our therapists are trained, licensed, experienced therapists with a Master’s degree in their field (OT, SLP, BCBA). In ABA, our Intervention Therapists/Integration specialists are trained in ABA and supervised by our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Our lead therapists train junior staff members, families, and supervisors, assign roles and monitor any changes and progress that take place. A junior staff member implements the programs that are set up by senior staff members.

Therapists typically focus on treating the individual as opposed to treating the entire family as a whole. We believe that when every family member is okay, the individual with Autism soars. With years of direct experience and service, we have helped hundreds of individuals reach their full potential by creating meaningful and lasting change over a lifetime.
