For families with Medicaid, Illinois' Medicaid program (known as HealthChoice Illinois) covers ABA therapy for eligible children. Additionally, the state's Early Intervention program provides services for children under age 3. Our team can help verify your specific benefits and match you with providers who accept your plan.
