ABA Therapy in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program covers ABA therapy for eligible children when deemed medically necessary. Many commercial health plans are also subject to the state's autism insurance mandate (Act 62), which requires coverage for ABA up to $36,000 per year for children under 21, with no annual or lifetime dollar limits on essential treatments.

Additionally, Pennsylvania's Early Intervention system provides ABA supports for children ages birth to three. For school-aged children, school districts may fund ABA through an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Our team can help you verify your specific insurance plan and connect you with providers who accept your coverage.
