NFP in the Live Oak office has the best doctors and an amazing staff. Kind courteous and caring. At this office I feel like my child is being treated like a real person and not just another number.

They make you an 830 appointment and keep the doors locked until 840. When you question as to why. They say they are having a staff meeting. You have a staff meeting every morning. Why would you give an 830 appt if you arent open till 830 We werent actually seen until 925. It is frustrating because I work and my grand baby goes to daycare if she isnt on time to daycare she cant go. It has been over an hour both times I have been there the last month. If I were an hour late they would refuse to see me. I would like the same courtesy.

The head doctor treated me like a nuisance and tried to rush me along before sending me to another facility. Completely unprofessional behavior.

I took my 2 year old nephew in to see Aymee Wilson APRN for a UTI. She was in there a few seconds when she said she would give us some ointment. FOR WHATShe didnt even offer to test him for a UTI because she assumed he wasnt potty trained and refused to give us an antibiotic. She kept making excuses how toddlers dont know how to communicate and he probably just didnt want to go potty. She commented how he didnt look sick. I told her that he just started showing symptoms that morning thats why he was brought in. I demanded he be tested and sure enough he had a UTI. She acted like it wasnt a big deal. I had to push for her to give him a prescription for an antibiotic. At the end of the appointment we asked multiple times for her name and she would only give us her first name. I had to ask a staff member for her full name. Terrible.

Dr. MJ is amazing. My daughter is 14-years-old. Weve been told she has exercise induced asthma but its only been getting worse and we didnt fully understand what the condition meant. After a scary incident during P.E. we needed answers and a better management plan. Dr. MJ took the time to go into great detail about the different types of asthma and what is going on inside my daughters body when she has these attacks. He helped us understand finally what we are dealing with and how we can better manage it. He showed her how to use her inhaler properly and helped come up with a plan to rule out whether she needs further evaluation from a specialist or not. Were not guessing anymore. I am so grateful to him for taking the time to educate us and help us understand how to make my daughters life normal. He is a wonderful doctor and a kind man.

We were visiting from out of town and they were able to see us as a walk-in when my son became ill. His medical history is a little complex and he received excellent care from everyone at this office.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Using principles of ABA, children and adults can learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. The primary goal of ABA therapy is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
It's a big decision to make for your family! Applied behavior analysis (ABA) seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Watch out for ABA providers who look to "cure" autism.
High quality ABA therapy does exist where the goal is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. The goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Here's our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy.
ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively.
Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
Autism-friendly camps come in all shapes and sizes, making it easier for you to find the one that best suits your needs. An autism-friendly camp may come in the form of a day camp, meaning you drop your child off in the morning and pick them up later that afternoon, or as an overnight camp. The camp programs can range in length from a few days to a few weeks. The campers that attend autism-friendly camps may be autistic only or a mixture of neurotypical and neurodivergent kids. When it comes to support for your child, some camps offer 1:1 support while others have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio.
When choosing the perfect camp for your child there are five key things you should keep in mind:
Interests: What does your child like to do? A sports camp probably wouldn’t be a good fit for your little bookworm. Finding the right summer camp that sparks your child’s excitement will aid in transitioning to and from camp, while also ensuring they enjoy their experience.
Professional Support: How much support does your child need? A traveling camp may not be best for your child who tends to elope. Some camps offer 1:1 support for your child, while others may have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio. When looking for a camp, pay close attention to those ratios to ensure there is adequate support for your child’s unique needs.
Specializations: Does the camp specialize in a specific area? If your child is nonverbal and the camp has excellent experience working with nonverbal children, it may be the perfect fit!
Responsiveness and Accommodations: Pay special attention to camps that meet with you one-on-one either by phone, video chat, or in person, to mark out a personalized support plan for your child. You can relax knowing they’re on top of things and making sure your child is properly supported. Don’t be afraid to ask tons of questions —a great camp will welcome them!
Location and Commitment: Not many people like a long commute. You know your child’s comfort level better than anyone else, so you’ll know what’s best for them, whether it’s a half-day camp, a full day, or an overnight experience.
