ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida has strong protections for families seeking ABA. The Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act requires many state-regulated health plans to cover ABA for children with autism. Florida Medicaid also covers ABA through its managed care plans for children under 21 with an autism diagnosis.

In Miami-Dade County, many ABA providers accept both commercial insurance and Florida Medicaid. Your specific coverage depends on your plan, but our team can help verify what applies to you when we match you with a provider.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Miami-Dade County

ABA therapy in Miami-Dade County is offered in several settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy brings a BCBA and RBTs into your home, which can help with natural environment teaching and daily routines. Center-based therapy provides a structured environment with peers and more access to specialized materials.

Many providers also offer telehealth sessions for parent training or direct therapy in some cases. The right setting depends on your child's age, goals, and your family's preferences - our matching service can help you find local options for each model.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who directly oversees your child's program. Ensure the provider uses evidence-based practices, conducts thorough assessments, and develops individualized goals. A good provider also trains parents and caregivers so skills carry over across settings.

It's important to ask about staff turnover, the use of positive reinforcement, and how data is collected to track progress. Our service only works with vetted providers who meet these standards in Miami-Dade County.
