ABA therapy is a research-based approach that supports skill development and reduces challenging behaviors. We are not a clinic-we are a free matching service that helps you find providers who accept insurance, including Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid) and private plans that comply with the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946).
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
California requires most health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for autism spectrum disorder under the 2011 mandate (SB 946 and subsequent regulations). This includes plans regulated by the Department of Managed Health Care and the California Department of Insurance.
Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, also covers ABA for eligible children and adults, often through managed care plans.
In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Monterey County
Families in Monterey County can choose from several service models. In-home ABA allows therapy to occur in your child's natural environment, which can be especially helpful for generalizing skills like communication and daily routines. Center-based programs offer structured settings for social skill building and peer interaction.
Many providers also offer telehealth sessions, particularly for parent training and supervision. During your free consultation with us, we'll match you with providers in Salinas, Monterey, Seaside, and other local communities that offer the model that fits your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid in Monterey County, California?
Yes. Under California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946), most private health plans regulated by the state must cover medically necessary ABA therapy. Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid) also covers ABA for eligible children and adults.
What programs in California help families pay for ABA?
Beyond private insurance and Medi-Cal, California's Early Start program (for children under 3 with developmental delays) may provide ABA through regional centers. The state's autism mandate also applies to most employer-sponsored plans. Our matching specialists can review your situation and identify the best options available in Monterey County.
What ages do ABA providers in Monterey County serve?
Many providers in Monterey County offer services for children as young as 18 months through adolescence and into adulthood. Early intervention is especially effective, but ABA can benefit individuals at any age. During your free consultation, we'll match you with providers who have experience with your child's specific age group.
How does your free matching service work?
We are a free referral service connecting families with BCBA-led ABA providers. After you complete a short intake, we use your preferences, location in Monterey County, and insurance details to identify the best options. We then introduce you to providers who have current availability. We are not a provider ourselves, and there is no cost to use our service.
How soon can my child start ABA therapy in Monterey County?
Start times vary by provider and current demand in Monterey County. Once we match you with a provider, they typically schedule an initial assessment within a few weeks, followed by the start of therapy. Our matches prioritize providers with current openings to help your family get started as quickly as possible.
