Telehealth adds convenience for parent training and certain skill-building activities. We help you choose the option that works best for your family.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois
Illinois requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children under 21 thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 95-1005). This means many Deerfield families can use their commercial insurance to access services. Our matching service can help verify your benefits.
For families covered by Illinois Medicaid (administered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, including the All Kids program and Home and Community-Based Services waivers), ABA therapy is also often covered. We work with providers who accept these plans, making it easier to get started.
