Pasadena families have access to ABA therapy in a variety of settings to meet their child's unique needs.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

ABA therapy is widely covered by insurance plans in California, thanks to state mandates that require many health plans to include autism treatment.

This means that for many Pasadena families, ABA services can be accessed at little to no out-of-pocket cost.

When you use our free matching service, we work with vetted providers who accept a range of plans, including Medi-Cal and most commercial insurance.
