ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Oregon

Oregon's Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), covers ABA therapy for children under 21 when deemed medically necessary. Many private insurers in Oregon are also required to provide coverage for autism-related services, including ABA, under state law (ORS 743A.190). This mandate applies to most fully insured plans, but it's always a good idea to verify your specific policy.

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

Families in Clackamas County can choose from several ABA delivery models. Center-based programs offer structured environments with peer interaction and dedicated therapy spaces, often located in Oregon City, Milwaukie, or Happy Valley. In-home ABA lets therapists work on skills directly in your child's natural setting, making it easier to practice routines like bedtime or mealtime.

Telehealth ABA is also available through many providers, especially for parent training and supervision sessions. This can be a great option for families in more rural parts of the county, such as Estacada or Molalla. Our service will help you find the right fit based on your child's needs and your family's schedule.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Clackamas County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific challenges, such as communication delays or challenging behaviors. It's also important to confirm they are licensed in Oregon and accept your insurance.

A good provider will offer a personalized treatment plan with clear goals, regular progress updates, and parent training. They should work collaboratively with your child's school and other therapists. Our matching service only includes providers that meet these standards, so you can feel confident in your options.
