ABA Therapy in Harris County, Texas

In Texas, many health insurance plans cover ABA therapy. The state's autism insurance mandate (passed in 2007 and expanded) requires many fully-insured employer plans and individual plans to cover ABA for children diagnosed with autism. Additionally, Texas Medicaid features STAR Kids and CHIP, which include ABA coverage for eligible children under 21.

There is no cost to you for this service.

Also consider the provider's experience with your child's specific needs-for example, early intervention for toddlers, social skills for school-age kids, or life skills for teens. Our matched providers meet standards for quality, so you can feel confident.
