Before starting ABA therapy, caregivers should consult their child’s physician. Your child may need to be assessed and given a formal diagnosis or recommendation from their physician in order to qualify for services. Next caregivers should contact their insurance provider or the ABA provider of their choice. The ABA provider will work with you and your insurance company to secure authorization to begin an assessment for ABA services. After the assessment is completed, the assessing clinician will determine whether ABA therapy is appropriate for your child. If so, they will submit their recommendation for treatment to your insurance provider. In some cases, ABA therapy may be provided by your child’s school district as part of your child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP), or it may be provided through a community health center or public agency. Some families who do not have ABA as a covered benefit may elect to pay for services out of pocket.
