Telehealth ABA is also an option for families who prefer remote guidance or live in areas with limited local availability.
No matter the setting, each provider ensures that therapy is overseen by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who tailors interventions to your child's unique strengths and goals. Whether you live near downtown Lake Forest or in the surrounding Lake County communities, our matching service can help find a program that fits your family's lifestyle.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois
Illinois requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism under the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 095-1002). This means that most employer-sponsored and individual plans regulated by the state include benefits for diagnostic and treatment services, including ABA. For families without private insurance, Illinois Medicaid (administered by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services) provides coverage for eligible children through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
Our free matching service can help you understand how your specific plan applies and connect you with providers who are in-network with your insurance or Medicaid. Simply let us know your coverage details, and we'll do the legwork to find vetted options that fit your budget and needs.
