East Lubbock Mobile and Telehealth Outreach Clinic (ELMO) Grant 

The East Lubbock Mobile and Telehealth Outreach Clinic for Autism (ELMO) grant offers free applied behavior analytic (ABA) services to families with children with either a medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or a school eligibility of autism who live in the state of Texas. This service is for families of children of any age. This grant focuses on the East Lubbock area; however, services are provided to families across Texas. 

Two services are offered: 

1. Parent Implemented Intervention (PII): Families get one-on-one training that is customized to fit their child’s and their own needs. 
2. Group Parent Trainings: Families join group workshops to learn about behavior tips, strategies, and resources. 

Parent-Implemented Interventions

Parent-Implemented Intervention (PII) focuses on parent education and support. This service helps parents learn how to use specific behavior techniques with their child who has autism. After the ELMO team completes the assessments, parents will receive one-on-one training from professionals on a specific intervention designed for their child. It includes practice with roleplay and real-time coaching while parents work with their child. Upon conclusion, the team will provide a recommendation for next steps. 

Families may participate in services through the ELMO grant by signing up for either in-person services to take place at the Burkhart Center clinic or telehealth services. Telehealth services will use computers, mobile devices, and video to connect with families living in Texas regardless of their distance from Lubbock. Families will engage with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and clinic staff to provide parent implemented intervention and resources. The convenience of this service is to help families that have no specialist in their area or limited availability to travel.

Group Parent Trainings

Group Parent Trainings are group workshops designed for families and caregivers of children with autism, regardless of age, who may not have access to high-quality training resources. These workshops can be in person or through telehealth technology. They will be held in Lubbock and across Texas, in collaboration with Education Service Centers throughout the state. The training focuses on behavioral needs commonly associated with autism and is tailored to address the specific needs of each region.

ABA Services

If you are seeking ABA services that go beyond what we offer through our grant funded services, we do not accept insurance at this time. All services provided would be an out-of-pocket expense to your family. 

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. 

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or contact us by phone at (806) 742-4561.
