At Acorn Health in Alpena, Michigan, we understand that deciding if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the right choice for your child can be a difficult decision. ABA is a form of therapy that works to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it is important to be aware of providers who may not have the best intentions of your child in mind and are looking to “cure” autism. At Acorn Health, we believe in providing high quality ABA therapy that is focused on helping your child reach their potential while embracing their unique personality traits. To help you make the best decision for your family, we have created a comprehensive guide to starting and ending ABA therapy.

At Acorn Health – Alpena, we understand that ABA therapy can be expensive, so it’s important to know if it is covered by insurance. If your child has an autism diagnosis, chances are ABA therapy will be covered. However, it is always wise to check with your specific insurance plan to make sure ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the care provider you have chosen is in-network. To help you better understand ABA therapy and if it is right for your family, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy in our blog.
