In-home ABA therapy in Fairbanks, AK
Distance isn't a reason to wait
Interior Alaska families have heard "we don't serve your area" too many times. We work with families across the Fairbanks North Star Borough: College, Badger, North Pole, Ester, Moose Creek, and we build schedules that work for where you live.
We handle the prior authorization
Alaska Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through the federal EPSDT benefit, and the state's fee-for-service system means there's no MCO to navigate. We submit the prior authorization to the Alaska Division of Health Care Services and sort out the paperwork before your child's first session.
Home is where this works
Skills built inside your routines are the ones that stick. That's why we come to you, not the other way around.
What ABA therapy in Fairbanks can look like
They make it through dinner without a meltdown. That’s regulation.
They tell you what they need instead of shutting down. That’s communication.
They walk into school and find their seat. That’s independence.
They find something to do next to another child and stay with it. That’s connection.
You get through a Saturday, the whole day, and everyone’s okay. That’s progress.
ABA therapy services in Fairbanks, AK
In-home ABA therapy
Your child's home is where your routines live: mornings, meals, transitions, all of it. That's where the work needs to happen.
School-based ABA therapy
We coordinate with Fairbanks North Star Borough School District so therapy goals and IEP goals move in the same direction. IEP coming up? Tell us before it's scheduled.
Parent training
You're with your child every hour we're not. Parent training is how those hours count.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Getting a diagnosis in interior Alaska can take a long time. We work with a diagnostic partner offering virtual evaluations, and most families are scheduled within two to three weeks.
Community-based ABA
Skills need to hold up outside the home too. Community sessions build exactly that, in the places your child needs to navigate.
Covered in Fairbanks
Alaska Medicaid (EPSDT)
Alaska Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through the federal EPSDT benefit. Because Alaska runs a uniform fee-for-service Medicaid system, Fairbanks families have the same coverage as families anywhere else in the state, and there’s no MCO to navigate. We handle prior authorization directly with the Alaska Division of Health Care Services before your child’s first session. We also work with Denali KidCare.
Commercial insurance
We work with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, TRICARE, and most major commercial plans. Give us your plan name and member ID and we’ll verify your coverage at no cost.
