ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

Many commercial insurance plans in California also include ABA coverage, often through an autism insurance mandate that requires plans to provide behavioral health treatment.

We'll check if your plan covers ABA and explain any co-pays or deductibles-so you know what to expect before starting services.

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

Fresno County offers a range of ABA therapy settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy allows a BCBA and behavior technicians to work with your child in a familiar environment, focusing on skills like daily routines, communication, and behavior. Center-based programs provide structured social opportunities with peers, often in dedicated clinic spaces in Fresno, Clovis, or Madera.

Telehealth ABA is also available for families in rural parts of Fresno County, such as Coalinga or Firebaugh, where travel to a clinic may be difficult. Many providers offer a mix of these options, giving you flexibility to choose what works best.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises therapy and creates individualized treatment plans. Ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific needs, such as communication delays or challenging behaviors. Also confirm they accept your insurance or Medi-Cal.

A good provider will offer a parent training component, involve you in goal setting, and provide regular progress reports.
