In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Petaluma

Families in Petaluma have access to a range of ABA delivery options. Many providers offer in-home therapy, allowing children to learn in a familiar environment, while others have dedicated centers in Sonoma County for structured skill-building. Telehealth ABA is also available for families who prefer remote sessions or need more flexible scheduling.

Regardless of the setting, all providers we match are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who design individualized programs. Petaluma's close-knit community and Sonoma County's supportive network of autism resources make it easier for families to find high-quality, local ABA therapy.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California is a leader in autism coverage. Under state law (SB 946), most private health insurance plans must cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, provides comprehensive coverage for ABA services for eligible families. This means that many Petaluma families can access ABA at little to no out-of-pocket cost.

Our free matching service helps you navigate insurance and Medi-Cal benefits. We connect you with providers who accept your plan, so you can focus on your child's progress rather than paperwork. If you have questions about coverage, we can guide you toward verified resources.
