ABA therapy funding in Pennsylvania? (for autistic children)?

Question

I want to get homebased ABA therapy for my autistic son. I'm considering a move to PA and am wondering what the funding options are there for families that can't afford to pay for it themselves?

If you live in PA and managed to get homebased ABA therapy for your autistic child, then please tell me how you managed to get it. Was it through insurance? If so, then which provider? Was it through the school system? Or something else?

Here in NC, there's a company called It's a Small Miracle that will bill Medicaid and not charge families. But I don't know of a similar company in PA, where I may have to move.

Any information would be highly appreciated! Especially if you can outline the steps you took to get the therapy, and how long it took to receive it, etc. Thanks in advance!

Answer 2

I don't know about PA-but I have heard that NY health insurance companies are supposed to cover it-and that they are trying to do it in NJ-but you have to battle for it....
