We do not provide therapy ourselves.

Our service is completely free, and we work with most major insurance plans, including Illinois Medicaid.
In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Elgin
Elgin families have access to a range of ABA service delivery options. Many providers offer in-home therapy, bringing one-on-one support directly into your living room, which can help children generalize skills in familiar surroundings. Others run dedicated centers in Elgin or nearby Kane County communities, where children can learn in a structured setting with peers.
Telehealth ABA is also available for many families, allowing for remote parent training, consultations, and even direct therapy via secure video sessions. Whether you live near downtown Elgin, in the Highlands area, or out towards the Fox River valley, our matching service can identify providers offering the setting that works best for your child.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois
In Illinois, ABA therapy is often covered by both commercial health insurance and the state's Medicaid program (Illinois Medical Assistance). The Illinois Autism Insurance Mandate (Public Act 95-1017) requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, with no caps on age or number of visits. This mandate is a powerful tool for Elgin families seeking affordable therapy.
Illinois Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through programs such as the Home-Based Support Services program and under the EPSDT benefit. When you use our free service, we can help verify your coverage and match you with providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan. We handle the complexities so you can focus on your child's progress.
