ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

Families in Westchester County can also explore the New York State Early Intervention Program for children under 3, or the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) for ongoing supports. Our matching team can help verify your specific coverage.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Westchester County

Westchester County offers a variety of ABA settings. Many providers offer in-home therapy, allowing your child to learn in a familiar environment with family involvement. Center-based programs are also available in communities like White Plains and Yonkers, providing structured peer interaction and specialized spaces.

Telehealth options have expanded significantly, making it possible to receive BCBA supervision and parent training remotely. This flexibility helps families across all parts of the county, from Mount Vernon to Ossining, access consistent care.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing a provider, look for clinical leadership by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all programs. Ask about individualized treatment plans, family training, and data-driven progress monitoring. A good provider will conduct a thorough assessment and collaborate with your child's team (school, speech, OT).

It's also important that the provider is transparent about their approach, uses positive reinforcement, and respects your family's values and goals. Our vetted network includes providers in Westchester County who meet these standards and accept insurance or Medicaid.

Getting started with ABA in Westchester County
