ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans, including those purchased through the state's health insurance marketplace. Florida's Medicaid program, known as Medicaid Managed Care, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

Additionally, Florida's autism insurance mandate requires many private insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This means families in Broward County may have coverage through their employer-sponsored or individual plans. Our team can help verify your benefits and connect you with providers who accept your insurance.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Broward County

Broward County families have access to ABA therapy in multiple settings. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, with a BCBA or registered behavior technician (RBT) coming to your home. Center-based therapy takes place in a clinic setting, often with structured activities and peer interaction.

Telehealth ABA is also available in Florida, offering remote sessions with a BCBA via video. This can be a flexible option for families in areas like Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, or Weston. Our matching service helps you find providers offering the setting that works best for your family.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Broward County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all therapy. Check that the provider uses evidence-based practices and creates individualized treatment plans. It's also important to ask about their experience with your child's specific needs, such as communication or social skills.

Consider the provider's location, hours, and whether they offer parent training. A good provider will involve you in the process and provide regular progress updates. Our service only works with vetted providers who meet these standards.
