At Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) in East Lansing, we understand that it’s a big decision to determine if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the best therapy for your child. ABA is an evidence-based intervention that seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. It is important to be aware of ABA providers who look to “cure” autism as this is not the goal of ABA therapy. At AST, our goal is to provide high quality ABA therapy that helps people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. We are here to answer any questions you may have and to provide you with our complete guide to help you start and end ABA therapy.

At Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) in East Lansing, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern for families. Our team is here to provide you with all the information you need to know about ABA therapy, including how much it typically costs. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. Unfortunately, autism is usually the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize for ABA services, as its benefits have been extensively researched and documented. To ensure that ABA is covered by your insurance plan and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network, we recommend that you contact your specific insurance provider to confirm.
