In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Cincinnati

Cincinnati families can choose from a range of ABA therapy settings to fit their child's needs. In-home therapy brings a BCBA and registered behavior technicians (RBTs) directly to your home in neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Oakley, or Anderson Township, allowing skills to be practiced in a natural environment. Center-based programs are available at clinics across Hamilton County, offering structured group and one-on-one sessions with access to specialized materials.

Telehealth ABA is also an option for families in Cincinnati, providing live video sessions with a BCBA for parent coaching and direct therapy. This flexibility is especially helpful for families in areas like Westwood or Mount Washington who may have transportation challenges. Our matching service helps you find providers offering the setting that works best for your child.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

In Ohio, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Ohio Revised Code 3923.83). This law requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children under age 16. Additionally, Ohio's Medicaid program (Ohio Department of Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children through managed care plans like Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, and Molina Healthcare.

Our free service helps Cincinnati families verify their insurance benefits and connect with providers who accept their plan. We also assist families with Ohio Medicaid coverage, including those enrolled in the Ohio Home Care Waiver or the Autism Scholarship Program. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so your child can start therapy as soon as possible.
