    Medicaid Tips and Reminders

    As with any healthcare coverage, it is important to stay informed with healthcare-related communication. If your eligibility for Medicaid or circumstances should change, the caregiver is responsible for the cost of services. Being responsive and acting fast when Medicaid is time for renewal can help to prevent breaks in Medicaid coverage. 


    Medicaid reviews the participation of ABA Therapy according to their plan of care. Attendance of therapy is important for the child’s progress, but also for Medicaid coverage. Be mindful that Medicaid monitors the attendance of the child, if the percentage of participation is too low, it can affect the coverage.


  • In-Home ABA Therapy Services

    Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps children with autism learn skills and

    lessen problematic behavior. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease harmful behaviors. The main strategy for ABA Therapy is positive reinforcement.


    What is In-Home ABA Therapy?


    ABA Therapy is often carried out in multiple locations but when conducted in-home it provides a natural environment and, in many ways, can benefit your child and your entire family.


    Benefits of In-Home ABA Therapy:

    Comfort: Children can receive a customized treatment plan delivered in the comfort of their own homes. In-Home ABA Therapy provides a natural environment for your child to gain and practice skills.


    Teaching Daily Routines: In-home ABA Therapy is a great choice for teaching daily routines that are used at home. Some examples include getting dressed, feeding, potty training, brushing teeth, brushing hair, and bathing.


    Interaction with Siblings: Including siblings in ABA Therapy can help children with autism

    practice sharing and playing with their siblings. This helps to strengthen a bond with their siblings along with social skills.


    Involvement of Parents: Therapy sessions can help parents and caretakers better understand and recognize certain triggers to help reduce problem behavior. Together, family members can better understand how to support your child’s skill development by observing the therapy sessions.


    Preparing for In-Home ABA Therapy:

    Choose a dedicated therapy space: Provide a room or area that can be a dedicated space for therapy. Make sure the space does not have major distractions.


    House Rules: Are there any general rules that need to be respected by the therapist? For

    instance, do you have a “shoes off” policy in your house? Are certain rooms off-limits for your child?


    Parent Participation is Valuable: 

    A parent or caregiver must be present during all in-home therapy sessions. This person should be available throughout the whole session.

  • Does ABA Therapy Cure Autism?

    Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is a top treatment for autism, though it is important to remember that it is simply a treatment, not a cure. Although there is much progress in autism treatment, there is still no cure for autism. With that being said, ABA therapy can significantly help to improve the quality of

    life and achieve their full potential for children and adults.


    ABA therapy can help improve quality of life in areas, such as…


    Alleviating sensory issues— 

    Oversensitivity (or hyperresponsiveness) to sensory input can be addressed with ABA therapy by giving ways to cope with undesirable stimuli.


    Developing communication skills— Communication can take many forms depending on a child’s needs. ABA therapy works with verbal or nonverbal communication skills.


    Building social skills— 

    Many children with autism can often struggle with social interaction. ABA therapy helps to teach and reinforce specific social skills.


    Even though autistic individuals may still struggle in a specific area, they can still greatly benefit from ABA therapy. It can help to discover ways to cope with those specific challenges and build their strengths and develop new skills. Through ABA therapy, any child or adult can live their best life.
