Frequently asked questions

Is ABA therapy covered by insurance or Medicaid in Needham, Massachusetts?

Yes, ABA therapy is generally covered. Massachusetts requires many private insurance plans to cover medically necessary autism treatments, including ABA. MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program, also covers ABA for eligible children under 21. Our free service can help you confirm specific coverage and match with providers who accept your plan.

How does your free matching service work?

After you submit a brief online form about your child's needs, location, and insurance, we use our network of vetted BCBA-led providers in Needham and Norfolk County to find up to three matches. We then coordinate introductory calls, so you can choose the best fit-all at no cost to you.

What ages do ABA providers near Needham serve?

Most of our partnered providers serve children from early childhood (ages 2-3) through adolescence (up to age 22). The specific age range depends on the provider and program. Many focus on early intervention (ages 2-6), while others specialize in older children and teens. We'll match you with providers that align with your child's age and developmental needs.
