The cost of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can vary greatly, and often depends on how many hours your child needs and whether your insurance helps cover it. Typical hourly rates for
ABA run between $120 and $150 per hour.
- For example,
10 hours per week at $120/hr equals about
$62,400 per year.
- More intensive plans (20–40 hours/week) can cost
$124,000–$249,600 per year, if paying fully out of pocket.
However, good news, many families don’t end up paying those full amounts. Since ABA is widely recognized as medically necessary for autism, most private insurance plans and many state Medicaid programs cover ABA therapy, which can dramatically reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
Still, families might pay out-of-pocket portions like deductibles, copays, or coinsurance depending on their plan.
