Frequently asked questions
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid in Houston, Texas?
Yes. Texas Medicaid (including STAR and STAR Kids) covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. Many private insurance plans in Texas also cover ABA, and state law requires certain plans to provide coverage for autism services. Our matching service helps you find providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan.
How does your free matching service work?
You start by filling out a short form about your child's needs, location, and insurance. We then use that information to connect you with vetted, BCBA-led ABA providers in the Houston area who are likely a good fit. The service is completely free-you only pay the provider directly for therapy, and we never share your information without permission.
What ages do ABA providers near Houston serve?
Most ABA providers in Houston serve children from ages 2 to 18, and some also offer services for young adults. Early intervention (ages 2-5) is especially common, as ABA can be highly effective for building foundational skills. When you work with our matching service, we can focus on providers that match your child's age group.
How soon can my child start ABA therapy in Houston?
Once you're matched with a provider and insurance is verified, many families can begin therapy within a few weeks. Start times depend on the provider's current openings and the setting you choose-in-home therapy may have shorter waitlists. Our goal is to connect you with a provider who has availability as soon as possible.
