In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Fort Lauderdale

Our network includes providers throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, all supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Whether your child thrives at home, in a clinic, or via virtual sessions, we can match you with a provider that fits your family's needs.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, many private insurance plans cover ABA therapy under the state's autism insurance mandate (the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act). This law requires certain group plans to include applied behavior analysis for eligible children. Additionally, Florida's Medicaid program (Statewide Medicaid Managed Care) covers ABA through plans like Sunshine Health and Staywell.

Our matching team can help verify your coverage and connect you with providers who accept your insurance. If you have Medicaid or a commercial plan, we'll guide you through the process - including prior authorization requirements - so you can focus on your child's progress.
