Frequently asked questions

Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid in Albany, New York?

Yes. New York's autism insurance mandate requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy. Additionally, New York's Medicaid program (including NYS Medicaid and Child Health Plus) covers ABA for eligible children under 21. Our matching service helps you find providers that accept your specific insurance plan, including Medicaid.

How does your free matching service work?

Simply fill out a short form on our website with your child's age, diagnosis, and preferred therapy setting (in-home, center, or telehealth). We then use that information to match you with vetted, BCBA-led providers in the Albany area. You receive a list of options and can schedule consultations directly. There is no charge to you - we are paid by the providers to help families like yours.

What ages do ABA providers near Albany serve?

Most of our partner providers serve children from early childhood (as young as 18 months) through adolescence, and some continue support into young adulthood. Because New York Medicaid covers ABA up to age 21, many providers design programs for school-age children and teens as well. When you sign up, we will match you with providers that have experience with your child's specific age group.

How soon can my child start ABA therapy in Albany?

The timeline varies by provider and your insurance status. After you complete our matching form, you can usually schedule an initial meeting within one to two weeks. Once the provider verifies your insurance and completes any needed assessments, therapy sessions can often begin within a few weeks. We will keep you informed of each step so there are no surprises.
