Getting Started at Building Kid Steps
-
Reach out to us. Families, physicians, healthcare providers, schools, and community partners may contact BKS about services. Families can call us directly to get started.
-
Get a doctor’s referral. We require a doctor’s referral and a primary care provider (PCP) on file. If you contact us before we receive a referral, we’ll ask you to request one from your doctor.
-
Complete the online intake paperwork. Once we receive the referral, we’ll contact you for an email address and send a link to our patient portal. The link is active for 72 hours. We need the completed paperwork before we can schedule because it provides important care information, permissions, and insurance details.
-
Schedule the evaluation. After we receive your paperwork, we’ll call to offer available appointment times. You’ll receive a courtesy text reminder the day before your appointment.
-
Complete the evaluation and care plan. The written evaluation may take up to one week. We then send it to the doctor for signature. If your insurance requires authorization, we’ll submit that request after the signed plan is returned.
-
Begin therapy. Once the required signed plan and any needed authorizations are in place, we can schedule ongoing visits. Your therapist will review the session with you and share ways to support progress between visits.
Preparing for Your Evaluation
Your evaluation appointment is the first step toward a consistent therapy schedule. Please plan to arrive on time and bring anything our team asked you to provide.
If you cannot attend, let us know as soon as possible. We understand that illness and family emergencies happen. For other scheduling conflicts, we offer up to two opportunities to reschedule and attend the evaluation. After that, we may ask you to contact us when your family is ready to begin regular visits.
Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll explain the recommended next steps and keep you updated while the written plan, doctor’s signature, and any required insurance authorization are completed.
