ABA Therapy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance through the state's autism insurance mandate (Act 62), which requires many health plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA, for children up to age 21. Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance (MA), also covers ABA for eligible children, often through managed care organizations like AmeriHealth Caritas or UPMC for You.

Many providers in Lancaster County accept both private insurance and Medical Assistance. Our free service can help you verify coverage with your specific plan and connect you with providers who work with your insurance.

Lancaster County offers a range of ABA settings. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, with a BCBA or RBT coming to your home in areas like Lancaster City, Lititz, or Ephrata. Center-based programs provide structured, social settings with peers, often located near major roads like Route 30 or 222.

Telehealth ABA is also available for some families, especially for parent training or initial assessments. This can be a flexible option if you live in rural parts of the county, such as Quarryville or New Holland. Our matching service can help you find providers offering the setting that best fits your child's needs.

When choosing an ABA provider in Lancaster County, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all therapy. Ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific needs, such as communication delays or challenging behaviors. Ensure the provider uses evidence-based practices and offers parent training.

Also consider the provider's availability, wait times, and whether they accept your insurance. Our free service pre-vets providers for credentials and quality, so you can focus on finding the right fit for your family.
