What Is the Cost of ABA?
How much ABA costs will also depend on your child’s needs, the specific type of ABA program you choose, and who provides the therapy. Some ABA programs that provide more services may be more costly.
Generally, an hour session of ABA therapy from a board-certified therapist cost around $120, though fees can vary. Though uncertified therapists tend to provide treatment at a much lower rate, it is recommended to work with a certified ABA therapist or a team that is supervised by a certified therapist. This way you can expect the full effect of the therapy.
Even though experts, recommend up to 40 hours of ABA therapy in a week, the most therapist only works for 10 to 20 hours a week. This will vary depending on the child’s needs.
Calculating the cost per hour would mean a total of $1,200 for 10 hours in a week with a $120 per hour rate. Many children show improvement after a few months, but every child is different, and it may sometimes last up to three years.
