Kathy C. says, " “I found David during the darkest period of my life. He listened without judgment and gently guided me toward emotional and spiritual health. David sincerely cares about his clients and treats each with respect and kindness. He tailors his counseling around the needs of the individual rather than using a cookie-cutter approach with everyone. He literally brought me out of the darkness and gave me the tools I need to make sure I never go back there. He is a truly gifted counselor and human being.”" Read more

Your ABA Therapy questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does ABA therapy cost?

ABA therapists charge $100 to $150 per hour on average, with most therapists charging around $120 per hour. Without insurance or other financial assistance, this translates to $5,200 to $15,600 per month and $62,000 to $187,000 per year for 20 to 30 hours of therapy per week, the typical amount needed for most children with autism. For children with severe autism that requires 40 hours per week of ABA therapy, costs can reach up to $250,000 per year without insurance.

When it comes to paying for ABA therapy, there are several options:

  • Health insurance
  • State-funded programs
  • School programs
  • Grants
  • Scholarships
  • Medicaid
  • Private payment

What is ABA therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment that focuses on improving specific behaviors in individuals with autism. The therapy uses a combination of techniques centered on positive reinforcement to:

  • Develop new skills
  • Dhape and refine behaviors
  • Improve communication skills
  • Enhance social skills
  • Reduce negative and problem behaviors
  • Support learning and development

Is ABA therapy harmful?

Modern ABA therapy emphasizes positive reinforcement and respect for the individual. While historical practices have been criticized, contemporary approaches focus on:

  • Ethical treatment
  • Individual needs and preferences
  • Positive skill development
  • Family involvement
  • Child-led learning opportunities

Does insurance cover ABA therapy?

Insurance coverage for ABA therapy has become increasingly common, though specific coverage details vary significantly. Coverage depends on state requirements, insurance provider policies, and individual plan details. Some states mandate that insurance providers offer coverage for ABA therapy, while others have more limited requirements. It's important to review your specific policy and speak with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options.

Does Medicaid cover ABA therapy?

Many state Medicaid programs cover ABA therapy through state plan benefits, waiver programs, and Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) benefits. Coverage details vary by state, so it's important to check your local Medicaid regulations.

How long does ABA therapy last:

The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly based on:

  • Individual needs
  • Treatment goals
  • Progress rate
  • Support system
  • Available resources

Typical programs last between 1 and 3 years, though some children require longer-term support. The treatment intensity and duration are regularly evaluated and adjusted based on the individual's progress and ongoing needs.

Is ABA therapy only for autism?

While ABA therapy is most commonly associated with autism treatment, its principles and techniques can benefit individuals with various conditions, including:

  • Developmental delays
  • Behavioral challenges
  • Learning disabilities
  • ADHD
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Other developmental conditions
