In-home ABA therapy in Wasilla, AK
We cover the valley
The Mat-Su is spread out. Families in Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake, Houston, Knik-Fairview, and Meadow Lakes don't always have easy access to what Anchorage has. We come to you, wherever you are in the borough, without asking you to make the drive.
We handle the authorization
Alaska Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through the federal EPSDT benefit. Alaska runs a fee-for-service system with no MCO to navigate; we handle prior authorization directly with the state before your child's first session.
Progress happens where life happens
The mornings, the mealtimes, the homework, the transitions: that's where the work needs to take place. That's why we come to your home instead of asking you to come to us.
What ABA therapy in Wasilla can look like
Your child gets through breakfast without it turning into a battle. That’s regulation.
They ask for what they need with words, or a sign, or a picture. That’s communication.
They make it through a school day and come home okay. That’s independence.
They find a spot next to another kid and hold it for a little while. That’s connection.
You get a Saturday afternoon that feels manageable. That’s progress.
ABA therapy services in Wasilla, AK
In-home ABA therapy
In the Mat-Su Valley, getting to a clinic isn't always simple. We come to your home and build therapy around the routines you already have, so skills develop inside the environment where they'll be used.
School-based ABA therapy
We coordinate with Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District so your child's therapy goals and IEP goals work together. IEP coming up? Let us know early.
Parent training
You're with your child more than anyone else. Parent training makes sure the progress that happens in sessions carries through the rest of the day.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Getting an evaluation in the Mat-Su can mean a long wait. We work with a diagnostic partner offering virtual evaluations, and most families are scheduled within two to three weeks.
Community-based ABA
The grocery store in Wasilla, the park in Palmer, a family outing anywhere in the borough: community sessions build the skills that need to hold up everywhere.
