Step 3: Your Admissions Specialist may conduct a phone interview with current and past providers, including school personnel. At times, a Zoom interview with the student is recommended.

Step 4: Once funding is confirmed, our clinical team may travel to complete an in-person assessment at the student's current school and residence.

Step 5: We recommend that parents and other agences involved tour Monach Center for Autism. A tour will be organized by your Admissions Specialist.
