Center-based programs provide a structured environment with peers and specialized resources, often available at clinics within easy reach of Peoria County.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois law requires many state-regulated health insurance plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA therapy, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate. This means private insurance policies issued in Illinois often include benefits for behavioral health treatment. Additionally, Illinois' Medicaid program (also known as the Medical Card) may cover ABA therapy for eligible children, often through the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver or Early Intervention services for children under three.

Get ABA Therapy verifies coverage with participating providers, so you don't have to navigate the paperwork alone. We match you with clinics that accept your insurance, including Medicaid, to make starting therapy as smooth as possible. Note that coverage details vary by plan, and we always recommend confirming benefits directly with the provider and your insurance company.
