In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in South Valley

South Valley families can choose from several therapy formats. Many providers offer in-home ABA, which allows children to learn skills in familiar surroundings, often with parent involvement. Others run center-based programs with structured environments and peer interaction, available in nearby Albuquerque and within Bernalillo County.

Telehealth ABA is also an option for some families, particularly those who prefer remote sessions or live in more rural parts of the county. Our matching team can help you find providers that offer the setting best suited for your child's needs, right here in South Valley or the greater Albuquerque area.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New Mexico

New Mexico's Medicaid program, Centennial Care, covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children. In addition, New Mexico law requires many private health plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA, under the state's autism insurance mandate (enacted in 2017). This means most families in South Valley can use their health insurance for ABA therapy.

Our free service can help verify your specific insurance benefits and explain how to use coverage, including Centennial Care. We also assist families without insurance - some providers offer sliding-scale options or can guide you toward state-funded programs. We'll match you with BCBA-led providers who accept your plan.
