Additionally, Texas's Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit through Medicaid covers ABA for eligible children.

Texas Medicaid, including the STAR managed care plans, provides coverage for ABA therapy when deemed medically necessary.

In-Home, Center-Based & Telehealth ABA in Travis County

Families in Travis County - from Austin to Lakeway and Pflugerville - can choose from various ABA delivery models. In-home therapy allows for personalized intervention in a natural environment, which can be ideal for teaching daily living skills and reducing behavioral challenges. Center-based ABA offers structured social opportunities and access to specialized equipment, while telehealth sessions provide flexibility for follow-ups or families in outlying areas like Manor or Del Valle.

Many providers in the region offer a blend of these services. Whether your child thrives with one-on-one in-home support or prefers the group setting of a center, our matching service helps identify options based on your priorities and location within Travis County.

What to Look for in an ABA Provider

Choosing an ABA provider is a big decision. Look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) leading the team, ensuring treatment plans are grounded in research and tailored to your child. Ask about staff-to-child ratios, parent training opportunities, and how progress is tracked. Many families in Travis County also consider provider experience with specific skill areas like communication, social play, or school-readiness.

It is equally important that the provider accepts your insurance or Medicaid and can start within a reasonable timeframe. Our free service vets providers for credentials, ethical standards, and insurance participation, so you can focus on finding the right fit for your family.
