Getting started from Livingston

The order that moves fastest, and the step most families skip.

  1. Get the diagnosis in writing

    ABA is funded against a written autism diagnosis from a pediatrician, developmental pediatrician, neurologist or psychologist. If you do not have one yet, that is the appointment to book first.

  2. Work out which door you go through

    Under 3, that is New Jersey Early Intervention. Age 3 and up on NJ FamilyCare, it is PerformCare, the single access point for the Children's System of Care. On a commercial plan you approach providers directly.

  3. Ask for the assessment, not the therapy

    No provider can quote hours before a BCBA has assessed your child. Booking that assessment is what starts the clock, and it is what the waiting list is actually for.

  4. Apply to several providers at once

    Waits in Essex County vary by town and by plan. Families who apply to three or four start months sooner than families who wait on one.

Paying for ABA in Livingston

  • NJ FamilyCare

    New Jersey covers medically necessary ABA for a child with an autism diagnosis. From age 3 the route in is PerformCare. Managed care runs through Horizon NJ Health, Wellpoint, Aetna Better Health and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.

  • Commercial plans

    New Jersey's autism insurance mandate requires state-regulated plans to cover behavioral therapy. Self-funded employer plans sit outside state law and set their own terms, so ask your HR team which type you have. It is one question and it changes what you are entitled to.

  • Paying privately

    Some families self-fund a focused program or parent training while an authorization is pending. Ask providers what a reduced-hour start looks like rather than assuming it is full time or nothing.

Questions from Livingston families

Is there ABA therapy in Livingston, NJ?

Yes. 7 ABA providers are registered in Livingston and 41 more operate within 7 miles. Across Essex County there are 79.

Will insurance cover ABA for a Livingston family?

NJ FamilyCare covers medically necessary ABA for a child with an autism diagnosis, with access from age 3 through PerformCare. New Jersey's autism mandate also requires state-regulated commercial plans to cover it. Self-funded employer plans are the exception and set their own terms.

Does Livingston Board of Education School District provide ABA?

School districts fund what a child needs for educational access, which is not usually a full clinical ABA program. Livingston Board of Education School District handles evaluations, IEPs and in-school support. Clinical ABA is funded medically, through insurance or NJ FamilyCare, and the two run in parallel. Having one does not disqualify you from the other. See school support.
