Grants for ABA for Children With Autism
ABA treatments are estimated to cost families over $50,000 a year. With many insurance companies not covering ABA or offering little coverage for behavioral treatment, affording the cost of ABA for their autistic child can be daunting or impossible for many families.
Luckily, there are several grants offered to help parents alleviate the costs of ABA treatments for children with autism.
