Whom Do We Serve?
SequelCare of Florida provides an array of services to anyone who is in need and qualifies for our programs. Our foster home programs require the child to be in foster care and meet eligibility requirements as outlined through the Specialized Therapeutic Foster Home Medicaid program. Our community-based care counseling and case management services are at no cost or with a modest co-payment to the individual to anyone having the following Medicaid insurances: Amerigroup, Sunshine Health, Harmony Staywell/Healthease, United Healthcare Services, Florida Medicaid, Beacon, Champva, Prestige/Optum, Psychcare, CMS/MED3000, and Wellcare.

Behavior Analysis Program
Behavior Analysis provides instruction to children with developmental disabilities and/or behavioral concerns to help decrease problem behavior and increase socially appropriate alternative behaviors. Behavior Analysis professionals provide services to children 0-17 in the home, community, and school settings. Our Behavior Analyst and team work directly with the child as well as caregivers such as parents and foster parents, teachers, and aftercare or childcare providers to ensure that each child has a support system of caregivers to help them gain success. Skills taught include language acquisition, daily living skills, coping and tolerance skills, social skills, and cognitive skills.
