Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no, as we will have the weeks & days prepared with the fun & activities already purchased.

Question 8

Im nervous to leave my little one, can I stay?

Accepted Answer

Leaving your little ones is always difficult, we understand. We have rooms set up in the front office if you would like to stay for a little while in case of an emergency and can set up our parent portal to watch the cameras to allow you a space to feel comfortable in the beginning (first days). After the first days, we hope you will be confident to allow your little one to join on their own but will support you the best we can in the beginning. If this does not provide the comfort needed, no worries, speak with our assistant director and she can best support you on the next steps (shannon@mistherapy.com).

No, you can schedule a week at a time. If you schedule for less than 4 weeks, the full amount will be due 1 week prior to the camps start date and the weeks provided in advance.

Question 10

If I change my mind and would like my child to join for more weeks, will they have a spot?

Question 13

My child needs 1-1 support, how can this be arranged?

Accepted Answer

If you are receiving ABA Therapy with MIS: 
- If you have a therapist support during those times normally, they can join us in the camp! 
- If you have a therapist support, but they are during different hours than the camp, you'll need to speak with your supervisor and see if (1) it would be best to move hours (2) are there additional hours from the authorization that can be used?

If you are receiving ABA Therapy from a different company (other than MIS): We will need a specific background completed, but they are welcome to join us throughout the entire camp!

I dont have any support, but I would like my child to have support: We would have you speak with the Assistant Director to see some private pay versus insurance covered options for services.  She can be contacted act Shannon@mistherapy.com or 954-780-6093 Ext 11

Question 14

Who will be at the center with my child?

Accepted Answer

Our camp will be lead by our Lead Clinical Assistant (RBT), Ana. She has worked with MIS for many years, and supports our clinical director in the ABA and Mental Health Department.

She will have the support of other RBTs and the direct RBT's that might be with other students.

Our Billing Coordinator will be present as the front receptionist and is present at the office from open to close, ensuring no adult is alone with a child for safety purposes.

Any outside adult joining the MIS camp will be background checked prior to entry at a level two screening, as required by the Department of Children & Families.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

Payment in full is required under the following conditions: 
(1) You will be paying using the Florida Step Up For Kids Scholarship or any other Scholarship.

(2) You will be joining less than 4 out of the 6 weeks.

Outside of this window, due to preparations, refunds will not be available.

Will the MIS BCBA be joining camp?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For all of our MIS clients joining our camp, your BCBA (supervisor) will tailor the programs to ensure they are receiving the best support towards their goals. They will join during the camp and provide the supervision directly on site.

All activities during camp will be created with the supervisors teams input (BCBA, BCaBA's, Directors, & Lead assistants)

Question 19

What if my BCBA supervisor is not from MIS, can they supervise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, we would just need a copy of their most recent level 2 background check (broward badge or ACHA background) - and if they do not have this, we will have this processed for them prior to supervision. Contact Shannon@mistherapy.com for any questions, and she can get you started!
