In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in St. Leo

St. Leo is a quiet community in Pasco County, and many local families prefer the flexibility of in-home ABA therapy. With in-home sessions, a BCBA and registered behavior technicians come to your home, helping your child learn in their natural environment. For those who need a structured setting, center-based ABA is available at clinics in nearby Dade City, San Antonio, and Zephyrhills. Telehealth options also exist, allowing you to receive direct coaching and parent training from a BCBA without leaving St. Leo.

No matter which type you choose, Apply for ABA makes the process simple. We ask about your child's age, diagnosis, insurance, and preferred setting, then match you with a vetted provider who serves St. Leo and the surrounding Pasco County areas. All providers we work with are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and deliver therapy that respects your child's individuality and family values.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder up to age 18, thanks to the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act. This means your plan may already include ABA coverage - and Apply for ABA can help you verify those benefits for free. We also work with families who have Florida Medicaid, which covers ABA for eligible children under the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, some families use the iBudget waiver for certain ABA services.

Our matching team will review your specific insurance - including plans from Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and many others - and connect you with a provider who accepts it. If you don't have insurance or are underinsured, we can discuss options that may be available through Medicaid or sliding-scale providers in the St. Leo area.
