In-home therapy brings ABA into your own environment, making it easier to practice skills in the settings where your child lives and plays. Center-based programs offer structured social opportunities with peers, and telehealth sessions allow flexible scheduling from home. Many local providers serve Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, and other parts of San Joaquin County.

Whether you need morning, after-school, or weekend appointments, our matched providers can work around your family's schedule. All providers are led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and supervises a personalized plan for every learner.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

Under California's autism insurance mandate (Senate Bill 946), most state-regulated health plans must cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes many employer-based and individual plans. For families covered by Medi‑Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA is also a covered benefit for eligible children. Our matching team can help you understand your specific plan's coverage and connect you with providers who accept your insurance.

Even if your plan is self-funded or out-of-state, we will do our best to find options. We work with providers who accept a wide range of commercial insurance, Medi‑Cal managed care plans, and private pay. Let us help you navigate the process at no cost to you.
