Answers to what families ask us most
From EIDBI eligibility to what to expect at your first CMDE assessment, here’s what families across Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Scott, and Dakota counties want to know before getting started.
What age range does Kids Care Inc. serve?
We work with children from early childhood through school age, with programs designed around each stage of development — from a first CMDE assessment all the way through school readiness.
What is EIDBI, and how do I know if my child qualifies?
EIDBI (Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention) is a Minnesota Health Care Program benefit for children with autism spectrum disorder or related conditions. Eligibility is determined through a CMDE — our team can walk you through the process and help you understand your options.

Do you offer in-home services, or only in-office appointments?
Most services are provided in-center.
In-home and telehealth services are available in select cases depending on the child’s treatment plan.
What’s the difference between ABA therapy and speech therapy?
ABA therapy focuses on building communication, social, and daily living skills through structured, evidence-based techniques. Speech therapy focuses specifically on language, articulation, and communication development. Many children benefit from both as part of one coordinated plan.
How long does a CMDE assessment take, and what happens after?
A CMDE typically takes a few hours across one or more sessions. Once complete, our team reviews the results with you and builds an Individual Treatment Plan tailored to your child’s needs and goals.
How often will my child have therapy sessions?
Therapy frequency is based on your child’s CMDE results. The CMDE determines the recommended number of therapy hours per week, and your treatment plan is built around those approved hours.
Can I be present during my child’s therapy sessions?
Absolutely. We encourage family involvement, and many of our programs include caregiver coaching so what your child practices in session carries over into daily routines at home.
Do you accept Medical Assistance or Medicaid?
EIDBI services are typically covered through Minnesota Health Care Programs, including Medical Assistance. Visit our Insurance & Payment page for full details on what’s accepted.
What if I don’t have insurance, or I’m not sure what’s covered?
