ABA Therapy in Yakima County, Washington

In Washington, ABA therapy is covered under the state's autism insurance mandate, which requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children under 21. Additionally, Washington's Medicaid program, Apple Health, covers ABA therapy for eligible children and youth. Many providers in Yakima County accept both private insurance and Apple Health.
