In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Fort Lauderdale

Families in Fort Lauderdale can choose from a range of ABA therapy settings to fit their child's needs. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, while center-based programs offer structured social opportunities with peers. Telehealth options are also available for families who prefer remote sessions or live in more rural parts of Broward County.

All providers in our network are led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who design individualized treatment plans. Whether you're near Las Olas Boulevard, the beach, or in the western suburbs, we can help you find a provider that matches your schedule, location, and therapy preferences.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Florida Statute 627.6686). This means most families in Fort Lauderdale can use their private insurance to pay for ABA services. Additionally, Florida's Medicaid program, known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC), covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

Our free matching service helps you verify your coverage with specific providers. We work with clinics that accept a wide range of plans, including Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Medicaid plans like Sunshine Health and Simply Healthcare. You don't need to navigate insurance alone-we'll guide you through the process.
