At Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) in Long Beach, we understand how important it is for families to understand the cost of ABA therapy. Generally, if your child has an autism diagnosis, ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance; it is the only diagnosis for which insurance typically authorizes ABA services, as its benefits have been extensively researched. Before seeking care from a provider, it is important to check with your specific insurance plan to ensure that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider is in-network.
