    Built for St. Cloud, rooted in Greater Minnesota

    St. Cloud families face real limits on local autism specialists. We offer intensive scheduling models so families can travel less often while still receiving high-quality hours.

    We connect with CentraCare pediatric providers and ISD 742 special-services teams to coordinate shared plans.

    Frequently asked

    Questions from St. Cloud families

    Do you serve children from St. Cloud?

    +

    Yes. Spectrum Roots welcomes families from St. Cloud — including Downtown St. Cloud and Pantown — and the surrounding Greater Minnesota. Our Golden Valley center is ~65 miles northwest of our Golden Valley center, and we offer transportation support for families who need help getting to therapy.

    What ages do you work with in St. Cloud?

    +

    We specialize in children on the autism spectrum ages 2 to 13. This window is when early intensive intervention has the greatest impact on communication, social, and daily-living skills.

    Does insurance cover therapy for St. Cloud families?

    +

    Most St. Cloud families pay $0 out of pocket. We are in network with Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid), UCare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota. Our intake team handles benefits verification and prior authorization.

    How quickly can my child start?

    +

    Most St. Cloud families move from first call to first therapy session in a few weeks. We help schedule the Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation (CMDE) if you don't already have one and walk you through every step.
