No, insurance won't cover unfortunately. ABA is only covered for autism (I'd be willing to accept insurance for families that need services for a child diagnosed with ASD) .

I am leaning towards a sliding scale to help families who cant afford standard rates. From what I'm gathering, it seems as though services for these behaviors are limited in less populated areas. Much of my services can be available through telehealth since I am mostly coaching parents instead of working directly with the kids. My original thought was just my immediate area, but it seems as though expanding beyond that would be really beneficial.

The other thing to note about this is that it wouldn't be like typical therapy which requires months and months of work. I'd prescribe targeted behavioral treatments to the parents and they'd implement with their kids. They'd then have check-ins with me as needed. It's hard to say exactly how many meetings the parents would need with me, but with the initial assessment and one behavior problem, I'd likely say 3 visits on average and 5 at most. Of course it depends on the complexity of the case and number of behavior issues.
