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

Captiva's island setting can make accessing services a unique challenge. Many families choose in-home ABA therapy, where a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) works directly with your child in your Captiva home or community. This allows skills to be taught in natural environments, such as during play or daily routines. Center-based options are also available in nearby Lee County cities like Fort Myers and Cape Coral, offering structured settings with peer interaction.

Telehealth ABA is another flexible option for Captiva residents. Through secure video sessions, BCBAs can coach parents and caregivers, conduct assessments, and guide skill-building activities. Our matching service can help you explore all three delivery models based on your family's needs and schedule.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

This means families in Captiva may have coverage through their employer-sponsored or individual plans. We recommend checking your specific policy for details on deductibles, copays, and network providers.

Florida Medicaid also covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children and adults. The state's Early Intervention and Medicaid waiver programs may provide additional support.
