ABA Therapy in St. Lucie County, Florida

In Florida, many private insurance plans are required by the state's autism insurance mandate to cover ABA therapy for children up to age 21. This includes most employer-based and individual plans regulated by the state. Additionally, Florida's Medicaid program covers ABA through its State Plan and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, such as the iBudget Waiver.
