Enrollment & Forms
STEP 1
Call Autism Systems at (989) 401-2244 and ask to speak with our BCBA to schedule an intake.
Have the following information available:
Basic information about your child and any previous treatment information.
Insurance information, including:
Insurers Name
Name of card holder
Place of Employment (if any)
Card holder’s birthdate
ID number
Provider’s Phone Number
An appointment will be scheduled for the intake & initial assessment with a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) and the Program Supervisor (Assistant Behavior Analyst).
We accept Medicaid through community mental health.
STEP 3
The Behavior Treatment Therapist (BTT) assigned to your child will call to schedule a minimum of one, 2-hour follow-up assessment within 3 business days following the completion of the initial assessment. There is no need for parents to stay on-site during this assessment.
Once this follow-up assessment is completed we’ll have enough information to begin the Prior Authorization process with your funding source. This process can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before it’s approved.
Upon approval, the BCBA will contact you to schedule a start date which is typically about 2 weeks following the approval.
Please keep in mind these timelines are all approximate.

Bring the following to the intake appointment:
Your child
Diagnostic Assessment (ADOS2, CARS2 or Vineland)
