Do you accept insurance as payment for services?
The Scott Center is able to process some insurance claims at this time.
How do I get on a waiting list?
Clients are placed on the waiting list after completing the intake process. First, a referral must be sent to the Scott Center for Autism Treatment. Referrals can be made by parents, teachers, physicians, etc. Families will then be sent a screening form to determine whether the services provided by the center are appropriate in meeting the family’s needs. If services are not appropriate, the client will be referred to another agency. If services are appropriate, an initial assessment will be conducted in which staff from the Scott Center meet with the family to directly observe the client. At this point, one of three things may happen: the client may be admitted to the center immediately, the client may be placed on the waiting list, or the client may be referred to an outside agency.
How long is the waiting list?
Currently, there is a short waiting list for the Early Intervention Program. There is no waiting list for the Social Skills program. We accept new clients based on staff availability, the severity of problem behavior and the duration of time spent on the waiting list.
I live outside of Brevard County, can I still receive services?

What age groups does the Scott Center serve?

Services for children beyond this age range may be provided on a case-by-case basis. Social skills behavioral services are offered for children primarily between 5-14 years of age. Services are also offered for all age groups in developmental issues and family counseling.
Who will be providing services to my child?

This means that multiple graduate and undergraduate students will work directly with your child to provide behavior analytic services. Their work is supervised by doctoral level Board Certified Behavior Analysts.

Once a month, there is a free community workshop. There is also an Annual Autism Conference each fall.
