ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is often covered by private health insurance thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This law requires most commercial plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children and adults. Many families in Stanislaus County use their employer-sponsored insurance to access therapy.

For those without private insurance, Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program) also covers ABA therapy for eligible individuals. Children under 21 can receive medically necessary ABA through Medi-Cal managed care plans. Additionally, California's Early Start program provides early intervention services, including ABA, for infants and toddlers (0-3 years) with developmental delays.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Stanislaus County

Families in Stanislaus County have multiple options for where ABA services take place. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment with natural routines, while center-based programs offer structured settings with peer interaction and supervised by BCBAs. Many providers also offer telehealth sessions, which can be especially helpful for families in rural areas like Patterson or Newman.

Our matching service can help you find providers that offer the setting that works best for your family-whether that is in-home near Modesto, at a center in Turlock, or through virtual sessions for greater flexibility.
