ABA Therapy in Champlin, MN

Champlin families looking for ABA therapy in Champlin, MN have a straightforward path to it: Highway 169. The same road that carries you over the Mississippi at Anoka runs south along Champlin's edge directly into Brooklyn Park, where Neurolink Academy's clinic sits about fifteen minutes from most homes in the 55316 ZIP code. We provide BCBA-led applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children ages 2 to 10 and are enrolled with Minnesota DHS as an EIDBI provider. EIDBI, or Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, is the state benefit that funds intensive autism therapy through Medical Assistance.

From the river to our door

Whether you live near Mississippi Point Park, the Mill Pond, or out toward Andrews Park, the trip is the same idea: get to Highway 169, head south past the Elm Creek edge of Brooklyn Park, and exit near the Boone Avenue N area. The clinic is at 7100 Northland Circle N, Suite 201, just east of the highway. At about fifteen minutes, the drive lands comfortably inside what most families already do for school, hockey, or childcare, which matters when a treatment plan calls for daily sessions.

Funding therapy as a working family

Champlin is a city of dual-income households, and the most common funding question we hear from local parents is some version of "we earn too much for Medicaid, so this isn't for us, right?" Often wrong, and happily so. MA TEFRA is a Minnesota option that qualifies a child with a disability for Medical Assistance based on the child's needs, not the parents' income. Once a child has MA through TEFRA, EIDBI can fund their therapy, frequently at zero out-of-pocket cost.

We accept MA TEFRA along with the other Medical Assistance pathways: Straight MA, HealthPartners PMAP, and Blue Cross Blue Shield PMAP (Blue Plus). Our insurance and EIDBI coverage page explains each one, and our intake team checks your specific situation for you, including whether TEFRA through Hennepin County is worth pursuing.

Scheduling around an Anoka-Hennepin school year

Most Champlin children attend Anoka-Hennepin schools, and we build therapy schedules with the district calendar open on the table. Your child's weekly hours come from their Individual Treatment Plan (ITP), typically between 20 and 40, and they flex with the seasons: many families run fuller weeks in summer and steadier, smaller blocks once school starts. School services like an IEP and EIDBI-funded therapy address different needs and are designed to coexist, and we coordinate with your school team when you want us to.

All of this happens at our center in Brooklyn Park rather than in your living room. A dedicated clinic gives your child purpose-built learning spaces, peer practice, and the full clinical team, including the BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who leads their program, in one consistent place.

If you are at the beginning, perhaps before a diagnosis or before the CMDE evaluation Minnesota requires, start anyway. Start intake takes about five minutes, costs nothing, and gets your questions in front of a team that answers them in plain language.
