Our service costs you nothing; we're funded by participating providers.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Odessa

Families in Odessa can choose from multiple ABA therapy settings. In-home therapy lets your child learn in a familiar environment, with a BCBA leading the plan and RBTs providing direct support. Center-based options, located in nearby communities like Lutz, Land O' Lakes, and Tampa, offer structured social opportunities and access to specialized materials. Telehealth ABA is also available for parent coaching and remote supervision, increasing flexibility for busy Hillsborough County families.

The right setting depends on your child's unique strengths and your family's schedule. Our matching service helps you explore all local options - whether you need full-day center programming or brief afternoon in-home sessions. We'll present you with providers that have openings and accept your insurance or Florida Medicaid.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is often covered by both private insurance plans and the state's Medicaid program. Florida Medicaid covers ABA for eligible children under the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit, and many managed care plans include ABA. Additionally, Florida's autism insurance mandate requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for children under 18 when prescribed by a physician - though benefit limits and authorizations vary by plan.

When you use our free service, we ask about your insurance to match you with providers in Odessa who accept that coverage. We cannot guarantee coverage, but we simplify the process by connecting you with providers who can verify your benefits. For uninsured families or those with high deductibles, some providers offer sliding-scale or self-pay options.
