In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Dayton
Dayton families have access to ABA therapy in a variety of settings to fit their child's needs and schedule. Many providers offer in-home therapy, allowing your child to learn in a familiar environment, as well as center-based programs in Dayton and Montgomery County that provide structured, peer-focused sessions. Telehealth ABA is also available for families who prefer remote support or live in areas with limited access to local clinics.
No matter the setting, all providers in our network are led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who oversees the treatment plan and progress. Whether you live near downtown Dayton, in the suburbs, or in surrounding Montgomery County communities, we can help you find a provider that offers the right location and setting for your family.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio
Ohio families can access ABA therapy through a variety of funding sources. Many private insurance plans cover ABA due to Ohio's autism insurance mandate, which requires plans to provide coverage for autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, Ohio's Medicaid program covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults, making it an affordable option for many Dayton families.
Our free matching service helps you navigate these options. We work with providers who accept Ohio Medicaid (including the managed care plans) and most major private insurers. Once you complete our simple intake form, we'll connect you with a provider who is in-network with your plan or can help you verify your benefits. There is no cost to you for our matching service, and we never share your information without your permission.

Frequently asked questions
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid in Dayton, Ohio?
Yes, ABA therapy is widely covered in Dayton. Ohio's private insurance plans are required to include autism treatment under the state's autism insurance mandate, and Ohio Medicaid (including its managed care plans) covers ABA for eligible children and adults. Our free matching service helps you find providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan.
How does your free matching service work?
You simply fill out a short online form telling us about your location, your child's age, and your insurance information. Our team then reviews your needs and matches you with vetted, BCBA-led ABA providers in the Dayton area that accept your coverage. There is no cost to you, and we do not require any commitment.
What ages do ABA providers near Dayton serve?
Most ABA providers in Dayton serve children from early childhood through adolescence, with many accepting ages 2-18. Some providers also offer services for young adults. Because early intervention is critical, Ohio's early intervention program, Help Me Grow, supports families with children under age 3. Our matching service can connect you with providers that specialize in the age group your child falls into.
How soon can my child start ABA therapy in Dayton?
Start times vary by provider and availability. Once you are matched with a provider, they will typically schedule an initial assessment within a few weeks. The actual start of therapy depends on the provider's current caseload and your availability. Our goal is to help you find a provider that can begin services as soon as possible, often within 30-60 days.
