Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most insurance companies cover the cost of autism treatment, including ABA therapy.
However, Applied Behavior Analysis insurance coverage varies between locations, providers, and plans.
Most children are between 2 and 6 years old when they begin ABA treatment. If a child starts at age 2, ABA can help him develop better communication skills and help him learn to follow directions and simple commands, to prepare him for preschool.
For older children, ABA is often used as part of the child’s education, to teach social skills, daily living skills or to help change problem behaviors.
There is no blood test to diagnose autism spectrum disorder. A diagnosis is made based on
behaviors. In order to be diagnosed with autism, an individual must display deficits in social
communication and social interaction, and show restrictive and repetitive behaviors.

Signs of autism typically appear during early childhood, with the average age of diagnosis being 3 to 6 years old, though some children are diagnosed as early as 2.
Yes. Here’s why it really matters: Early identification means early intervention–which can lead to significant gains in IQ, communication, and social interaction according to a recent
comprehensive study. Services include therapy to help a child walk, talk, and relate to others.
This can have a huge impact on a child’s behavior, functioning, and future well-being. But the converse is also true: without early intervention, the symptoms of autism can worsen.
We want to be clear here: there is no scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC have compiled dozens of studies that show no connection between vaccines and autism. Here’s the short story–for many families, autism diagnosis corresponds with the timing of their child’s vaccinations, hence the theory that vaccinations were at fault. Scientists have conducted extensive research over the last 20 years and the research is clear: vaccines do not cause autism.
