Person-Centered Collective FAQ

Person-Centered Collective (PCC) provides relationship-focused, person-centered consultation and support services for neurodivergent individuals, families, and organizations.

• Supported peer interactions
• Community-based social support

Do you provide ABA therapy?

Person-Centered Collective is not structured as a traditional high-volume ABA agency and does not currently provide insurance-based ABA therapy services.

Services may include behavioral, social, adaptive, assessment, and caregiver consultation informed by evidence-based and person-centered practices. Support is individualized and designed to integrate naturally into everyday life and community participation.

---

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, Person-Centered Collective primarily focuses on private pay and Self-Determination Program (SDP)-aligned services.

This allows us to maintain a smaller, more individualized model centered around flexibility, collaboration, and sustainable support.

What SDP services does PCC provide?

Depending on the individual’s goals and approved IPP services, support may align with:

• Community Integration Supports (SDP Code 331)
• Community Living Supports (SDP Code 320)
• Behavioral Intervention Services (SDP Code 364)
• Family/Consumer Training (SDP Code 366)
• Training and Counseling for Unpaid Caregivers (SDP Code 371)
• Prevocational Supports (SDP Code 339)

Service recommendations and funding determinations are ultimately determined through the SDP planning and IPP process.

Are services available virtually or in person?

Professional consultation services are intentionally limited in scope to support meaningful collaboration and sustainable implementation.

What makes PCC different?

Person-Centered Collective intentionally operates as a smaller, highly individualized practice and consultation model. We prioritize authentic relationships, flexibility, practical support strategies, and sustainable services that fit naturally into real life and community participation.

Our work is relationship-centered, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in over 20 years of clinical and systems-level experience.
