What autism services are covered under Medicaid?
Here are a few services we think are most helpful:
-
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) — An intensive therapy that works well with people who have autism. It helps them improve behaviors and social skills through 1-on-1 sessions and group play.
-
Physical Therapy — A therapist works with your child to improve muscle strength, coordination, and movement.
-
Occupational Therapy — A therapist helps your child with the motor skills they need for life activities like eating, bathing, and writing.
-
Speech Therapy — A therapist helps with communication skills at all levels. These include talking, understanding others, and also non-verbal ways to communicate.
Check and see if your plan covers any of these services!
