How do I choose WJS Psychological Associates to become my Supports Coordinator provider?

There are two options:

• First, at your initial meeting with the Bureau of Autism, you will be given a list of providers to choose from. If you would like WJS Psychological Associates to service your case, please give the BAS coordinator our name.
• Second, if you are already receiving Support Coordination but are unhappy with the service you are receiving; please tell your BAS coordinator that you would like to transfer services to a new agency.
