ABA For My Child is not a clinic-we are a free matching service that connects your family with vetted, BCBA-led ABA providers in Delaware County and across Ohio. We help you navigate insurance coverage, including Ohio Medicaid, so you can focus on what matters most.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

Ohio law (2008) requires many private health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children up to age 15. Ohio's Medicaid program, which includes managed care plans like Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, Molina, and Paramount, also covers ABA when medically necessary for enrolled children under 21.

If your child qualifies for Ohio's Early Intervention system (Help Me Grow, birth-3), ABA may be part of an Individualized Family Service Plan. Our team can help verify your specific insurance benefits and match you with providers who accept your plan.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Delaware County

Delaware County families can choose from several ABA service models to fit their child's routine. In-home therapy brings BCBA-supervised sessions directly to your living room, allowing skills to be taught in natural family settings. Center-based options in communities like Delaware, Powell, and Lewis Center offer structured environments with peer interaction opportunities.

Telehealth ABA is also available for families in more rural parts of the county, such as Ostrander or Radnor, giving access to expert BCBAs without long drives. Each model is personalized to your child's goals and schedule.

What to look for in an ABA provider

A strong provider uses a family-centered, play-based approach and prioritizes your child's comfort and autonomy. Look for BCBA oversight (not just RBTs working alone), transparent data sharing, and a willingness to collaborate with your child's school or other therapists.

Ask about their experience with your child's specific needs-whether verbal communication, self-regulation, or life skills-and confirm they accept your insurance or Ohio Medicaid before starting.
