ABA Therapy in Stafford County, Virginia

Virginia law requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Code of Virginia § 38.2-3418.11). This means your commercial insurance may cover a significant portion of ABA costs. Additionally, Virginia's Medicaid program covers ABA for eligible children under the age of 21 through its Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

For families with Medicaid or FAMIS (Virginia's children's health insurance program), ABA therapy is a covered service when deemed medically necessary.We do not charge any fees for this assistance.

Telehealth ABA is also available, providing remote sessions that can be especially convenient for busy families or those in more rural parts of the county.
