ABA therapy focuses on understanding and improving behaviors that matter most - things like communication, social skills, and daily routines. It is especially helpful for many children and adults with autism. Best of all, there is no cost to you for this matching service. We simply help you find the right provider for your needs.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance under the state's autism insurance mandate (Florida Statute 627.6686), which requires many health plans to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder for individuals under 18. This typically includes ABA when prescribed by a licensed professional.

For families using public coverage, Florida Medicaid offers ABA benefits for eligible children with autism. Additionally, the Early Steps program provides early intervention services (including ABA principles) for infants and toddlers up to age 3. Our matching service can help you find providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan.

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

ABA therapy in Orange County is available in several settings to fit your family's lifestyle. In-home sessions allow your child to learn in familiar surroundings, using everyday routines to build new skills. Center-based programs offer structured environments with access to specialized materials and peer interaction, which can be especially helpful for social skill development.

Many Orange County providers also offer telehealth (online) sessions, providing flexibility for busy families or those in more remote areas. Whether you prefer one-on-one support at home, a clinic setting near Orlando, or virtual visits, our matching service can connect you with options that work for you.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Orange County, first ensure they are led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all programming. Look for providers who use person-first, respectful language and who collaborate with your family to set meaningful goals. Ask about staff training, supervision ratios, and how they incorporate play and natural learning opportunities. A quality provider will also help you navigate insurance approvals and offer ongoing progress reports.

Getting started with ABA in Orange County
