Adaptive + DDD-funded

Same curriculum as the standard cohorts at smaller ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) — sensory-friendly pacing, Adaptive Recreation-endorsed lead. Two funding tracks on one page: private / ESA / scholarship, or DDD-funded therapeutic recreation billed under HCBS Code H2014.

Which lane fits your family?

Sensory-friendly sessions run on one calendar. Two paperwork rails decide how you fund them — pick the lane and we'll handle the rest.

Track 1

Private · ESA · Scholarship

Families paying privately, via ESA / ClassWallet, or via scholarship. Per-session receipts with standards alignment + accommodation notes. No medical paperwork.

Track 2

DDD-funded · HCBS H2014

Students enrolled in Arizona DDD. We bill therapeutic recreation hours under HCBS Code H2014 through your intermediary — Cortica, Choice Care, Mentor AZ, or others.

Three ratio options

Right-ratio,
right student.

We match ratio to the student, not the cost. Some students do beautifully at 1:3. Others need 1:1 for the first cohort and ladder up. Prices below are the private / ESA track; DDD-funded sessions are billed per intermediary authorization.

Ratio
1:1

One instructor · one student

Full attention, a single trusted adult voice, the most predictable transitions across every part of the session.

Per session
$395
6-week cohort
$3,267
Ratio
1:2

One instructor · two students

Two paired students (often siblings or close friends) who do well with a stable peer and a single instructor pacing the whole session.

Per session
$285
6-week cohort
$2,695
Ratio
1:3

One instructor · three students

Students ready for a small-group dynamic but still needing a noticeably lower ratio than the standard 1:8 cohort.

Per session
$225
6-week cohort
$2,345
What sensory-friendly actually means here

Specific. Not generic.

  • Visual schedules + first-then boards on the board
  • Noise-canceling headphones available all session
  • Predictable session arc — same opening + closing every week
  • Regulation breaks scheduled, not earned
  • Sensory-friendly equipment (soft straps, low-tension PFDs)
  • Quiet-cove launches separate from the general cohort venue
  • Caregiver-on-shore or caregiver-on-board · no judgment
  • Adaptive Recreation-endorsed lead on every session
DDD-funded therapeutic recreation

Already in
your network.

Sessions run 60–90 minutes, structured around your student's active HCBS goals, with intermediary co-signoff on goal mapping before the first session. We coordinate directly with whoever holds your service hours.

Intermediaries we bill through
Intermediary

Cortica

Pediatric integrated-care provider. We bill therapeutic recreation hours under your active service plan with HCBS Code H2014.

Intermediary

Choice Care

Home + community-based services. Sessions count as community-integration outings on your authorized service hours.

Intermediary

Mentor AZ

Direct support provider for DDD-eligible members. We coordinate quarterly progress notes with your case coordinator.

Intermediary

Other DDD provider

Routing through a different DDD intermediary? Mention it in the inquiry — we coordinate billing directly.

What gets documented every session
  • Goal-aligned progress notes per session — matched to your IPP/ISP goal codes
  • HCBS H2014 billing code on every session
  • Quarterly written progress narrative for your case coordinator
  • HIPAA-aware documentation — your team sees what they need, nothing more
  • Coordinated comms with your existing care team (BCBA, OT, SLP when authorized)
  • Adaptive equipment provisioning logged per session for DDD audit trail

DDD audits happen. We assume yours could — documentation isn't an afterthought, it's built into the session structure.

Adaptive · Curriculum

Same curriculum. Smaller ratio.

Adaptive students work through the same cohort curricula as the standard programs — just at smaller ratios with sensory-friendly pacing, predictable structure, and an Adaptive Recreation-endorsed lead instructor. DDD-funded sessions wrap that curriculum in a goal-aligned therapeutic-recreation framework so each session aligns with the student's active IPP/ISP goals. Same certificate of completion either way.

What you/they leave with
  • Full cohort curriculum delivered at the right tempo for the student's sensory profile, attention bandwidth, and physical needs
  • Same standards-aligned learning outcomes as the standard cohort (NGSS, AZ-PE, CCSS where applicable)
  • Per-session adaptive progress note covering accommodations used, regulatory state, and goal progress — available to family + intermediary
  • DDD-funded sessions: HCBS H2014-coded notes formatted for intermediary billing review, with intermediary co-signoff on goal mapping before the first session
