The cost of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can vary depending on several factors, including location, the severity of the child’s needs, and whether the therapy is conducted at home, in a clinic, or at school. On average, out-of-pocket expenses for ABA therapy can range from $120 to $200 per hour. For families who need many hours of therapy each week, this can add up quickly.
However, many insurance plans cover ABA therapy, especially with a formal autism diagnosis. It’s important to verify coverage with your insurance provider to understand what services are included and if you need prior authorization.
If your insurance doesn’t cover ABA, some therapy providers offer sliding scale fees or payment plans to make therapy more affordable. Additionally, some states have funding programs or grants available for families seeking therapy.
