Centered Solutions was started by Lauren Bacotti, M.S.Ed, BCBA, after more than 20 years in the field. She remains the practice's Clinical Director, knows every clinician on the team personally, and stays involved in every case the practice takes on.

Larger practices route you to intake coordinators. Here, you can ask Lauren your questions yourself — mention “founder call” when you reach out.

What's different here

What individualized care actually looks like.

A short, honest comparison — not a knock on larger providers. Different models suit different families.

Who designs the program

Larger providers

A template adapted to your child.

Centered Solutions

A program built from a fresh assessment of your child.

Who you talk to

Larger providers

An intake coordinator, then a rotating team.

Centered Solutions

The same BCBA, from intake through care — and responsive partners.

Hours recommendation

Larger providers

Often anchored to insurance maximums.

Centered Solutions

Anchored to client needs — even when that means fewer hours.

Where care happens

Larger providers

Often clinic-only or single-setting.

Centered Solutions

Home, school, and community — where the child needs the care.

How it works

From first conversation to first session.

No black box. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out — and roughly when.

  1. 01

    Reach out

    Share a little about your child. A clinician — not a script — replies.

  2. 02

    Intro conversation

    30 minutes with a BCBA to understand fit and answer real questions.

  3. 03

    Insurance & intake

    We help you navigate authorization without making it your job.

  4. 04

    Assessment

    A fresh, individualized clinical assessment — not a default plan.

  5. 05

    Thoughtful matching

    Clinician matched on availability, geography, and working style.

  6. 06

    Care begins

    Sessions begin with active BCBA oversight from day one.
