Practical guides on ABA therapy, autism diagnosis, and insurance - the questions families bring us most. Written for parents, not clinicians. Free to read, no signup.
If you’re new to ABA or to autism, start here. These three guides cover what most families want to understand in the first month, and they’re the same resources we use to introduce families to our process.
A plain-language introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis: what it does, how it works day to day, and what the evidence says. Written for parents new to the field.
Read the guideWhat happens between your first phone call and your child's first session, week by week: the insurance step, the assessment, and what to bring.
Read the guideHow caregiver coaching works in ABA, with the specific strategies families use to carry progress into mealtimes, transitions, and bedtime.
Read the guideOnce you have the basics, these shorter posts go deeper on the practical parts of autism care: waiting periods, home routines, school conversations, and the little questions that come up between appointments.
A lot of clinic resource libraries are built to rank in search, not to help. We’d rather publish a handful of guides that genuinely answer a parent’s question.
We won't publish a guide unless we can picture the family it helps. If a draft reads like it's written for search engines, we rewrite it before it ships.
Antecedent-behavior-consequence becomes 'what happens before, during, and after.' Operant conditioning becomes 'what behaviors get noticed.' We translate, we don't dumb down.
Some questions don't have clean answers, like long-term outcomes or where typical development ends and autism begins. We say when we're not sure instead of pretending otherwise.
We keep adding new guides, articles, and insights on a continuous basis. We want to educate our families and keep you informed on all things Autism related.
Quick answers on how we write, what we publish, and how to suggest a topic.
No. Every guide is free and open: no signup, no paywall. Read whatever helps your family, whether you end up working with Clementine or not.
Please do. We wrote them to be shared with the people supporting your child. If a teacher, pediatrician, or relative needs a plain-language explanation of ABA or autism, point them here.
On purpose. We’d rather publish guides that genuinely help families than three hundred that just pad search results. The library grows when we have something specific and useful to say.
Maybe. We prioritize the topics families ask about most during intake. If there’s something you wish we’d cover, tell us and we’ll consider it for the next batch.
Some, where they are closely related with autism care: including insurance navigation, IEP and 504 plans, the diagnostic process, and collaborating with pediatricians, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and schools. For broader autism topics outside of ABA, we’ll gladly point you to trusted resources.
Have a question the guides didn't answer?
Our intake team has spent thousands of hours answering family questions about ABA, autism, and insurance. We'll point you in the right direction, even if it's not toward us.
