In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Buffalo

In Buffalo and across Erie County, ABA therapy can take place in your home, at a clinic, or via telehealth. Many families choose in-home sessions for natural skill-building, while center-based programs offer structured environments and peer interaction. Telehealth options provide flexibility for busy schedules or rural parts of Erie County.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

New York State Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children with autism. Additionally, New York's autism insurance mandate requires most private health plans to cover ABA for children under 21. This means families in Buffalo may have coverage through their employer plan, the NY State of Health marketplace, or NYS Medicaid.

Our matching team works with you to verify your specific insurance benefits. While we don't handle billing, we connect you only with providers who accept your plan-including Medicaid and many commercial carriers. This helps ensure you can focus on therapy, not paperwork.
