ABA Therapy in Bronx County, New York

In New York, ABA therapy is often covered by both private insurance and Medicaid. The state's Medicaid program (New York State Medicaid) includes ABA for eligible children under 21 when prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, New York's autism insurance mandate requires many commercial health plans to cover medically necessary autism treatments, including ABA, for children up to age 21.

When choosing an ABA provider, prioritize those led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who design and oversee every child's program.

A good provider will also be transparent about progress tracking and parent involvement.

Additionally, confirm that the provider accepts your insurance or Medicaid and is licensed in New York. Our matching service only connects you with providers that meet these quality standards, saving you the time of vetting them yourself.
