One of the first questions San Diego families ask about autism care is a practical one: how much does ABA therapy cost? The reassuring answer is that, for most families, insurance covers the large majority of the cost — and at Superstar ABA Therapy Center, our team verifies your coverage for free before you commit to anything.

What Affects the Cost of ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is highly individualized, so the total cost depends on your child’s specific plan. The biggest factors include:
The number of therapy hours recommended each week
Whether services are center-based, in-home, or a combination
The initial assessment and ongoing BCBA supervision
Your insurance plan and benefits
Does Insurance Cover ABA Therapy in California?
In most cases, yes. California law requires many health plans to cover medically necessary behavioral health treatment, including ABA therapy, for children diagnosed with autism. Medi-Cal and most major commercial insurance plans provide coverage as well. With insurance, many families pay little to nothing beyond standard copays or deductibles.
ABA Therapy Cost Without Insurance
For families paying privately, costs vary widely from provider to provider and depend on how many hours of therapy are recommended. Because ABA is tailored to each child, the best way to understand your options is to speak with a provider directly rather than rely on generic price estimates.
