Parental Success
What are parenting expert consultations?
Parenting expert consultations allow you to meet virtually with one of RethinkCare’s parenting experts for additional guidance. These parenting experts are Board Certified Behavior Analysts who identify and help you address your child’s problematic behaviors through 30- or 60-minute consultation sessions.
What is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst?
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is a master- or doctoral-level practitioner who has experience working in schools, clinics, and home therapy settings.
They are experts in managing your parenting concerns including learning and developmental disabilities such as autism, ADHD, and Down syndrome. Our BCBAs can help you:
- Communicate more effectively with your child
- Teach your child crucial socialization, language, self-help, and academic skills
- Address problematic behaviors and improve the home environment
- Collaborate more effectively with your child’s school and other caregivers
How do I schedule a consultation with a BCBA?
- Click the headset icon on the top right of the platform’s menu bar
- Select “Speak with a Parenting Expert”
- Under appointments, click the “Schedule a Call” button
- Finally, follow the prompts to choose which BCBA you’d like to meet with, how long you’d like to meet, and when, then click “Submit”
What should I expect during my first consultation?
During your first consultation, we’ll ask you to share information about your child, your goals for your time with your BCBA, and your questions about how the RethinkCare program works. There is no need to prepare before the consultation, though it may be good to brainstorm key information or concerns you plan to share to make the consultation as efficient for you as possible.
Can I switch to a new BCBA as my needs change?
Of course. We know parents enjoy the continuity of seeing the same BCBA each session. If for any reason, it doesn’t feel like the right fit, you are always welcome to schedule a consultation with any of our parenting experts. Connecting you with the right clinician is our priority.
How long is the waiting list for a consultation appointment?
Consultations are available within 48 hours of your appointment request.
When are BCBAs available and in which languages?
RethinkCare has BCBAs working across all time zones, so you can conduct your sessions during evenings, nights, and weekends. Our BCBAs currently support five languages across multiple countries. We are committed to continuously expanding our language offerings.
Can I communicate with my BCBA outside of the consultation sessions?
Yes, your BCBA is available to support your needs between consultation sessions. You can message your BCBA securely through the RethinkCare platform to share photos, links, and other files.
How do I know if my child is eligible?
There are no age restrictions or diagnoses required. Our skills training sessions and expert guidance is relevant to parents of all children and can also support children and young adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. You may also add more than one child to your account and create profiles for each of them.
Can members of my child’s care team take advantage of RethinkCare?
Yes, you can add members to your Care Team within your digital account including partners, relatives, childcare providers, therapists, teachers, and others.
My child already receives Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. How do RethinkCare’s offerings differ?
While in-home ABA services directly support your child’s learning, RethinkCare is an online tool for you as a parent or caregiver. We help you continue your in-person therapy progress at home by teaching you how to better address behavior challenges, communicate, and interact with your child.
RethinkCare also supports you in collaborating with the in-home or clinic-based provider. Your ABA provider can use RethinkCare’s resources, so you can communicate efficiently through the RethinkCare program, work on the same skills, and even share data.
Professional Resilience
What are workplace neurodiversity expert consultations?
RethinkCare offers one-on-one meetings with key stakeholders and larger group trainings to help manage and collaborate with neurodiverse teams. Our experts tailor each in-depth discussion to your team member’s needs, such as managing unfamiliar situations with neurodiverse employees and staying up to date on the best practices and policies.
Who is eligible for these trainings and consultations?
Leadership, supervisors, and human resources team members can connect one-on-one with RethinkCare’s workplace neurodiversity experts. All other employees may participate in available group training opportunities. Talk to your employee benefits and human resources representative to learn more.
How can I access these consultations?

Personal Wellbeing
What is mindfulness training?
Mindfulness training helps to reduce stress, focus attention, and be fully aware and engaged in the present moment. These skills help you perform at your best. Learning to be calm and collected amid adversity is one of the keys to improving health, happiness, and overall quality of life.
How is RethinkCare’s program different from an employee assistance program (EAP)?
An EAP offers employees confidential assessment, counseling, referrals, and follow-up services for personal and work-related issues. In contrast, RethinkCare provides 24/7 self-guided training to help you proactively develop mindfulness and resilience skills to better respond to stress. 100+ on-demand courses are available to help you address the root cause of your stress early, so you can live a happier and healthier life.
Can I access my EAP through RethinkCare?
Yes. RethinkCare is integrated with your company’s EAP through our platform to connect you with one-on-one clinical mental health support. Simply click on the headset icon on the top right of the platform’s menu bar, then select “Speak with an EAP Expert,” and complete the following prompts. RethinkCare is dedicated to supporting your various needs through all the available resources.

Personal Wellbeing
Mindfulness training is used to reduce stress, focus attention, and be fully aware and engaged in the present moment. These skills help you perform at your best. Learning to be calm and collected amid adversity is one of the keys to improving health, happiness, and overall quality of life.
EAPs offer employees confidential, short-term counseling, referrals, and follow-up services for personal and work-related issues. Yet, EAPs are often underutilized and tend to be used reactively only once an employee is in crisis or experiencing severe symptoms. Wait times to see an EAP counselor can take weeks or even months.
In contrast, RethinkCare’s mindfulness and resilience training proactively helps you practice skills to adopt healthier and more productive responses to stress. Our 100+ on-demand courses are available 24/7 to help you address the root cause of your stress and prevent chronic health conditions from developing.
