ABA Therapy in Santa Clara County, California

In California, most private insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy for autism under the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This includes plans purchased through Covered California and many employer-sponsored plans. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children through managed care plans.

It's important to verify your specific plan's coverage, but our team can help you understand benefits and connect with providers who accept your insurance or Medi-Cal. We'll guide you through the process to ensure you access the funding your child is entitled to.

Families in Santa Clara County have options for where their child receives ABA therapy. In-home therapy allows children to learn in a familiar environment, with parents and siblings naturally involved. Center-based therapy offers a structured setting with peers and access to specialized materials and social opportunities. Many providers also offer telehealth sessions, which can be a flexible option for families.

Whether you live in San Jose, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, or anywhere else in the county, our network includes providers who deliver services in homes, centers, or virtually. We'll match you with options that fit your family's schedule and your child's learning style.

Choosing an ABA provider is a big decision. Look for providers with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who design and oversee the therapy. BCBAs should have experience with children on the autism spectrum and use person-first, positive reinforcement techniques. It's also important that the provider shares your goals for your child, whether that's building communication skills, social interaction, or daily living independence.
