At the Center for Autism and Developmental Disorders at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, we understand the difficulty of deciding if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is right for your child. Our team is here to provide you with the resources and support you need to make the best decision for your family. Our comprehensive guide will help you understand the fundamentals of ABA therapy, identify quality providers, and determine when it’s time to end therapy. We believe that ABA therapy should not be used to “cure” autism or make children appear “less autistic”. Rather, the goal of ABA should be to help individuals reach their full potential while embracing their unique, individual personalities. We are here to support you every step of the way.
At the Center for Autism and Developmental Disorders at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, we understand that you may be wondering how much ABA therapy costs. Generally, ABA services are covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. As autism is the only diagnosis that insurance plans typically authorize for ABA services, it is important to always consult with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage for your child’s diagnosis, as well as to ensure that the ABA provider you are seeking care from is within your insurance network. To help you gain a better understanding of ABA therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide that covers everything you need to know.
