Our role is simply to match you with qualified providers who fit your family's needs, location, and insurance coverage.

ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Washington

In Washington, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance thanks to state mandates that require many plans to include autism-related services. Washington's Medicaid program, Apple Health, also covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children up to age 21 through its managed care plans. Coverage details can vary, so our matching team can help you verify benefits with your specific plan.

For families with Apple Health or private insurance, we work with providers who accept a wide range of plans. If you are unsure about your coverage, simply fill out our form and we will guide you through the next steps-at no cost to you.

In-Home, Center-Based & Telehealth ABA in King County

King County offers diverse ABA service settings to fit different lifestyles. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, with strategies woven into daily routines. Center-based programs provide structured settings with peer interaction and specialized equipment, often found in cities like Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond.

Telehealth ABA is also widely available in King County, offering remote sessions with BCBAs for parent coaching, assessments, or direct therapy. Many providers offer a combination of these options, so you can choose what works best for your family. Our matching service helps you find providers offering the settings you prefer.

What to Look for in an ABA Provider

Seek providers led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and supervises the therapy program. Ask about their experience with your child's specific needs, how they involve families, and whether they use data-driven methods. Look for a provider that communicates openly, offers flexible hours, and accepts your insurance or Medicaid. Our pre-vetted network includes only qualified providers who meet these standards.
