Question 1

Does insurance cover ABA therapy?

Accepted Answer

Most major insurance plans — including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United, Tricare, and Medicaid — cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis. We verify your benefits for free, usually within one business day.

Question 2

What ages do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We provide ABA therapy for children and young adults from age 2 through 21. Most of our clients are between 2 and 8 years old — the sweet spot where early intervention leads to the strongest outcomes — but we're here to support families throughout childhood and adolescence.

Question 3

How much does ABA cost — and is it covered?

Accepted Answer

Most families use insurance — Medicaid, MCO, or a commercial plan — and what you pay depends on your plan's copay, deductible, and coinsurance. We verify your benefits for free and explain in plain language what your plan covers before you commit to anything.

Question 4

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first visit is mostly getting to know each other. Your BCBA meets your child at home, watches how they play and communicate, asks about your routines and priorities, and answers your questions. There's no testing pressure on your child.

Question 5

We don't have a diagnosis yet — can we still call?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please call. Insurance generally requires an autism diagnosis before ABA can be covered, so we'll explain exactly what's needed and point you toward evaluation options near you while you decide.

Question 6

How many hours of therapy will my child need?

Accepted Answer

Hours are individualized based on a clinical assessment. Most children receive between 10 and 30 hours per week, scheduled around your family's routine.

Question 7

What is the difference between in-home and clinic-based ABA?

Accepted Answer

In-home ABA brings the therapist to your child's natural environment. Skills generalize faster, families feel more involved, and there's no commute or waiting room.

Question 8

How quickly can we get started?

Accepted Answer

After your inquiry, we typically verify insurance within 1 business day, schedule an assessment within a few days, and begin therapy shortly after.

Question 9

Can we switch BCBAs if it isn't the right fit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fit matters more than paperwork. Tell your care coordinator and we'll match your family with another clinician — no awkward conversation needed.

Question 10

How long until we see progress?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your child, the goals, and the hours. Many families notice small wins in the first few weeks — a new word, an easier bedtime — while bigger goals take months. Your BCBA reviews the data with you regularly, so progress is never a guess.

Question 11

Will I be involved in my child's therapy?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Parent coaching is a core part of every program. You'll learn the same strategies your BCBA uses, so progress continues between sessions.

Question 12

What is the parent's role during sessions?

Accepted Answer

You're part of the team, not a spectator. Parent coaching is built into every program, so you'll learn the same strategies your BCBA uses and practice them in everyday moments between sessions.
