At Bierman Autism Centers, we provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in Needham, MA. ABA is a scientifically based therapy that helps children and adults learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills. The main goal of ABA therapy is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce problematic or challenging behaviors. We have a comprehensive guide to help you learn more about ABA therapy and its benefits.

At Bierman Autism Centers, we understand that one of the important questions parents have when considering ABA therapy is “How much does ABA therapy cost?” ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively. To ensure accurate coverage, it’s important to confirm your specific insurance plan covers ABA therapy and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. To help better understand the cost of ABA therapy, we’ve compiled this guide to everything you need to know.
