Pacific Child & Family Associates | CENTRAL VALLEY

At Pacific Child & Family Associates, we understand how important it is to provide the right resources for your child’s development. We know how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. That’s why our team of professionals in the Central Valley provide comprehensive evaluations to determine if your child requires speech therapy. Our evaluations focus on understanding the individual’s communication skills, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, using gestures, understanding body language, and more. We also provide early intervention services for autistic children to ensure they receive the necessary language and communication skills during their critical period of development. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, we can help.

At Pacific Child & Family Associates, we know that it can be confusing to understand the cost of ABA therapy. Here’s the bottom line: ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Insurance companies typically only authorize ABA services for autism since its benefits have been extensively researched. To make sure that your child’s diagnosis is covered and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network, we recommend that you always check with your individual insurance plan.
