ABA Therapy in Niagara County, New York

In New York, ABA therapy is widely covered by commercial insurance plans, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (New York Insurance Law § 3221, § 4303). This law requires most health plans to cover the diagnosis and treatment of autism, including ABA, for children up to age 21. Additionally, New York's Medicaid program, known as NY Medicaid, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
