ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a research-backed approach that helps children with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills. Our service is completely free to you - we simply help you find a provider who meets your family's needs, accepts your insurance, and provides care in Erie County.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Pennsylvania

Many families in Erie County use private insurance or Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance (MA), to cover ABA therapy. Pennsylvania also has an autism insurance mandate (Act 62) that requires certain large-group health plans to cover ABA for children under 21. Our team can help you verify your specific coverage.

If your child is under 3, Pennsylvania's Early Intervention program may also provide ABA services through the county. We work with families to understand their benefits and match them with providers who accept their plan, including MA and most major insurers.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Erie County

Erie County offers a range of ABA settings to fit your family's lifestyle. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, while center-based programs provide structured social opportunities with peers. Both options are available in Erie, Millcreek, Edinboro, and other communities across the county.

Telehealth ABA is also growing in Pennsylvania, giving families in more rural parts of Erie County access to BCBA supervision and parent training from home. Our matching service helps you explore all three options so you can choose what works best for your child and schedule.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Erie County, look for a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who designs and oversees all therapy plans. Ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific needs, and whether they involve parents in training and goal-setting. Also confirm they accept your insurance and offer the setting (home, center, or telehealth) you prefer.
