At UW Health’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Clinic, we understand that deciding whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is right for your child is a big decision for your family. We strive to provide high quality ABA therapy that seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors – not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Our aim is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you make this decision, we have created a comprehensive guide on when to start and end ABA therapy.

At UW Health’s Autism & Developmental Disabilities Clinic, we understand the unique needs of those with Autism and Developmental Disabilities, and we strive to provide the best and most comprehensive ABA therapy services available. That’s why it’s important to know how much ABA therapy costs and what insurance plans cover it. Generally, insurance will cover ABA therapy if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurers will authorize for ABA services, due to the extensive research that has been done on its effectiveness. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To help you make informed decisions about ABA therapy, UW Health’s Autism & Developmental Disabilities Clinic has created a comprehensive guide to answer all of your questions.
