ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21 when medically necessary. Many private insurance plans also cover ABA thanks to California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946), which requires large group health plans to provide coverage for autism treatment, including ABA.

What to look for in an ABA provider
Look for a provider with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who supervise individualized programs. Ask about family training, data tracking, and how they incorporate your child's interests. A good provider will collaborate with your family and other therapists (speech, OT) to create a cohesive plan.
Also consider the provider's experience with your child's specific needs-whether that's early intervention, school readiness, or social skills.
