Getting Started

Axis’ current process starts with intake paperwork, a consultation, an individual assessment, program selection, and a start date.

A clear first step

If you are new to Axis, the intake form helps the team understand your child, your goals, insurance details, and the best next step.

1. Complete intake paperwork

Share initial family, child, and insurance details.

2. Talk With Our Team

Talk with the team about goals, needs, and service fit.

3. Individual assessment

We gather as much info as we can to understand your child’s strengths and needs.

4. Map A Plan

The team recommends a support path and location when appropriate.

5. Start date

Begin care with a collaborative team and clear next steps.
