Get ABA Therapy is a free referral service - we are not a clinic.

Our goal is to simplify your search so you can focus on what matters most: your child's growth.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, many private health plans cover ABA therapy thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Act 58), which requires coverage for medically necessary autism treatments for children under age 19. This includes ABA when prescribed by a qualified professional.
BadgerCare Plus, Wisconsin's Medicaid program, also provides ABA coverage for eligible children. Through the Children's Long-Term Support waiver or the Birth to 3 Program, families in Waukesha County may access ABA services at little or no cost.
In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Waukesha County
Waukesha County families have several options for ABA delivery. In-home therapy allows a BCBA or registered behavior technician (RBT) to work directly with your child in your home - ideal for practicing routines, daily living skills, and natural social interactions. Many local providers serve communities like Waukesha, Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, and Muskego.
Center-based programs operate in dedicated clinics where children can learn in a structured environment with peers. Several centers in the county offer this approach. Telehealth ABA is also available for certain families, particularly those in more rural parts of the county or with scheduling constraints - giving you the flexibility to receive parent training and coaching remotely.
What to look for in an ABA provider
The most important factor is the provider's commitment to ethical, person-first care. Look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all therapy and designs individualized plans that respect your family's values. A good provider will prioritize building rapport with your child, use positive reinforcement, and regularly share data on your child's progress.
Also consider practical factors: location and availability, whether the provider accepts your insurance or BadgerCare Plus, and if they offer the setting you prefer (home, center, or telehealth). During a consultation, ask how they collaborate with your child's school and speech or occupational therapists if those services are in place.
