360 Behavioral Health | Simi Valley

At 360 Behavioral Health in Simi Valley, we understand how important it is to ensure that your child is receiving the best care possible. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, there are a few key signs you should look for. Many people with autism have difficulty with social communication, so speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children. Your child may need speech therapy if they have difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is also a key focus in early intervention for autistic children, and can help them develop effective ways to communicate and become more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy.

We provide a comprehensive guide to help you learn more about ABA therapy and the benefits it can provide.

At 360 Behavioral Health, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern when considering treatment for your child. We want to assure you that ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance if your child has been diagnosed with autism. Unfortunately, autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services, but always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. That’s why 360 Behavioral Health has created a complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy, so you can get the best care for your child.
