What to expect before scheduling your intake assessment

Insurance & Finances

Verification and Authorization
All insurances must be verified and authorized (as needed) prior to the intake assessment appointment.

Coverage Limitations
Insurance may not cover an intake assessment if the client is receiving a higher level of care such as Emergency Outpatient Services (EOS) at the time of intake.

Payment Expectations
Co-payment is due at the time of the intake assessment.

Scheduling & Services

Service Restrictions
No more than one service on an outpatient basis can be completed on the same day. If you receive outpatient services with other mental health care providers, you cannot complete an intake assessment (and/or any other services with Social Sparks) on the same day.

Weekly Limits
Depending on individual insurance plans, typically no more than 2 outpatient services are allowed per week.

Appointment Order
Intake appointments are scheduled in the order they are received.

Documentation & Attendance

Required Documentation
At intake, a copy of your health insurance card is required. Evaluations, IEPs, and any other supporting documents are welcomed and appreciated at the intake appointment.

Attendance Guidelines
A parent and/or guardian is required to attend the intake assessments for children. We ask that the referred client be present at the intake assessment. (We have a sibling-friendly environment.)

Kind words from our clients

  • "Amazing! I couldn't be more pleased & I recommend to others whenever I can. In July 2019 my son joined a weekly group & the summer camp - his progress socially was immediate & steady growing! Thank you so much for all you have done!!!"

    — Brenda D, August 2019

  • "Nothing else has worked for us as well as this has. Not only does Social Sparks have groups for social issues and disorders, it a tween or teen is experiencing anxiety or depression, there are certain groups for them, too. Everybody has one group that suits them."

    — Sarah R., June 2017

  • "The environment is a safe place for kids to be themselves, especially the "quirky" ones who don't fit in as easily in "normal" social circles (aka--the ones who don't fit in with the "cool" kids at school, etc.) Social Sparks accepts them as they are and teaches them healthy ways to deal with social challenges. "

    — Helena B., September 2018

  • "My son is always happy to go and always comes home with a smile! The staff is super friendly and covers relevant topics and information that are useful to his development in a fun and engaging way."

    — Adin G., June 2024

  • "Friendly staff, great therapists, nice relaxing atmosphere."

    — James M., June 2024

  • "Great people. Have really done a great job with my child. He looks forward to coming and that's half the battle!!"

    — Rebecca W., October 2016
