ABA Therapy in Staten Island: What Families Need to Know
Fewer Local Providers, Greater Need for Smart Matching
Compared to Brooklyn, Queens, or Manhattan, Staten Island has fewer ABA therapy practices per capita — making it especially important for families to find providers who are actually accepting new clients rather than calling practice after practice. Many Staten Island families also value providers who can offer in-home therapy, given the borough's limited public transportation and the logistical challenges of crossing a bridge or taking the ferry for center-based sessions.
Match Care ABA identifies providers across Staten Island and the surrounding region who have confirmed availability, accept your insurance, and can serve your family where you are.

Insurance Coverage for ABA on Staten Island
New York State law requires all insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. This includes NYC Medicaid Managed Care plans serving Staten Island families — HealthFirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis Care, Affinity Health Plan, and Molina Healthcare — as well as Child Health Plus and commercial insurance. If your child has Medicaid, they are covered for ABA services. Match Care ABA verifies that your specific plan is accepted before making any connection.

NYC Early Intervention and District 75 on Staten Island
Staten Island families with children under age 3 can access NYC's Early Intervention (EI) program through the borough's EI office, which provides evaluations and services at no cost. At age 3, children transition to the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) for school district services.
School-age children with autism on Staten Island may be served through their local Staten Island school with an IEP, or through District 75's Staten Island programs. Private ABA therapy through insurance can complement these school-based services and extend the hours and intensity of support your child receives.
