Financial Planning
port . Scholarships will ensure your child receives ABA funding for the appropriate duration to aid their academic development .
Other financial support won ’ t always cover the full costs , but it should cushion the blow of paying 100 % of the fees out of pocket .
Private Payment for ABA therapy is linked to employers and work organizations , who will use the child ’ s trust to cover a partial payment for the sake of your child ’ s educational purposes .
The exact level of care will be determined by the organization ’ s trust details , as well as your family household income . Meanwhile , the funding gained through this method sometimes uses a sliding scale , which is something you ’ ll need to investigate .
While this model won ’ t cover the full cost of ABA therapy , it does bring the hourly rate down to as little as $ 20 depending on individual circumstances , thus reducing the costs by over 80 % compared to what you first feared .
SUMMARY
While ABA is expensive , up to $ 120 per hour on average , keep in mind the plethora of potential benefits which could make it a priceless addition to your child ’ s life . Despite the fact that most individuals require anywhere between 10-20 hours a week ( and potentially up to 40 ) for up to three years , parents can bring the costs down through any of the methods mentioned above .
If you are still unsure which funding method or services are best , it is advisable that you speak to an agent .
