How ABA therapy works through Alpaca Health

Four simple steps from your first form to your first session. No waitlists, no phone tag, no guesswork.

Tell us about your child

Start with our short intake form. You share the basics: your child's age, your availability, your insurance, and any autism diagnosis you already have. That is all we need to understand where your family is starting from.

We verify your insurance

After you submit the form, we verify your insurance and follow up within one business day to confirm the details. No long waits, no phone tag.

Get matched with the right provider

We match you with a licensed provider who has availability now, not months from now. Prefer someone specific? Tell us, and we will try to make it work. Either way, the fit is built around your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Start care the same week

We introduce you directly to your provider, and they take it from there. Most families have their first meeting or assessment within the same week, whether that is in-home ABA therapy or a telehealth session.

Under Texas law (Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1355), fully insured plans must cover ABA therapy. Coverage requires that the autism diagnosis was in place before the child's 10th birthday, and it then continues without an upper age limit. Once a child turns 10, a plan is allowed to cap ABA at $36,000 per year. This applies to state-regulated private plans, and self-funded employer plans follow federal rules and can work differently.

What our own data shows about ABA care in Texas

Every number below comes from the sessions, claims, and prior authorizations that partner clinics ran on Alpaca Health between August 2024 and August 2026. It describes families served by those clinics, not the ABA market in Texas.

Families who owed nothing

29%

Share of Texas families whose settled claims carried no patient responsibility. Most Texas families at partner clinics are on commercial plans, which carry deductibles and copays that Medicaid plans do not.

Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026. 307 families across 36 clinics.

Median owed per hour of therapy, commercial plans

$5.00

Patient responsibility owed per delivered hour for Texas families on commercial plans. About three in ten owed nothing at all. Middle half of families: $0 to $15.45.

Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026. 307 families across 36 clinics.

On Texas Blue Shield commercial plans

46.4%

Share of Texas families at partner clinics whose primary payer is Texas Blue Shield. TRICARE West Region covers another 13.7 percent.

Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026. 169 families across 31 clinics.

Median days to a payer decision

14.1

Days from the moment a partner clinic submits a prior authorization to the moment the payer approves or denies it. About a third of decisions took longer than 14 days. Middle half of requests: 8 to 25 days.

Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026. 364 families across 38 clinics.

How Texas prior authorizations ended

Approved56.3%
No authorization was needed23.3%
Withdrawn before a decision13%

Share of prior authorization requests by outcome. Outcome groups with too few families behind them are not shown, so these shares do not add to 100. 302 families across 36 clinics.

Where therapy hours were delivered in Texas

At home72.1%
By telehealth9%

Other settings6.2%
At school5.6%

Share of delivered therapy hours by the place of service billed on each signed session note. Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026.

Families who had at least one telehealth session

62.1%

Telehealth is a small share of total hours in Texas, and most families used it at least once. It fills gaps around illness and travel rather than replacing in-person work.

Alpaca Health partner-clinic caseload, Aug 2024 to Aug 2026. 226 families across 30 clinics.

These figures describe clients of Alpaca Health partner ABA clinics, on the payers Alpaca Health contracts with. They are not measurements of the ABA market in Texas. A figure appears only when at least 25 families from at least 3 clinics sit behind it.

Why independent clinics matter

In-home ABA that fits your life

The providers we work with bring therapy to you, wherever your child is most comfortable.
That might mean home, daycare, school, or virtual sessions. Our flexible care model ensures that therapy integrates into your family’s daily routine, rather than disrupting it.
Our network is made up of independent, local clinicians who prioritize   collaboration, not control, so you stay in charge of your child’s care.

Get Started

Support for the full pediatric age range

Many ABA centers stop care when a child turns 8. Not us. We support the full pediatric age range, toddlers to age 21.
Your child deserves more than short-term support. With Alpaca Health, they can build a long-term relationship with a provider who understands their growth over time and adapts care as their needs evolve.
We also support your whole family with educational events and resources,   including parent webinars, advocacy toolkits, and grant guides.

See Our Family Resources

More care. Less wait.

Waiting months for ABA shouldn’t be the norm. At Alpaca Health, we help families connect with the right provider in just a few days.
We work exclusively with independent providers, which allows us to stay   flexible and waitlist-free. That means faster assessments, quicker treatment   starts, and the end of years-long waits.
Ready to get started? We’ll handle the paperwork, help coordinate referrals,   and walk you through every step.

Frequently asked questions about ABA therapy in Seabrook

Does insurance cover ABA therapy in Seabrook?

Most state-regulated Texas health plans cover ABA therapy under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1355. Coverage requires that the autism diagnosis was in place before the child's 10th birthday, and it then continues without an upper age limit. Once a child turns 10, a plan is allowed to cap ABA at $36,000 per year. This applies to state-regulated private plans, and self-funded employer plans follow federal rules and can work differently. Self-funded employer plans (common at large companies) are exempt, so check with HR. Texas Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through Texas Health Steps when medically necessary, with no dollar cap and no copay. Alpaca Health verifies your coverage and handles prior authorization so you don't have to call your insurer. Start the process today.

Do you offer in-home ABA therapy in Seabrook?

Yes. Most Alpaca Health families in Seabrook choose in-home ABA because it lets your child learn in the environment where they spend the most time. Your BCBA and RBT come to your house and work with your child using everyday routines, toys, and spaces your child is already comfortable with. Parents can watch, ask questions, and learn strategies to use between sessions. It also means no driving to a clinic.

Do you offer virtual ABA therapy in Seabrook?

Yes. Alpaca Health offers virtual ABA sessions for Seabrook families. Virtual works especially well for parent coaching, where your BCBA walks you through strategies in real time while you practice with your child. It's also a good option for older children working on social and communication skills, or for families who want to supplement in-home sessions. All virtual sessions are conducted through a secure video platform.

Can my child get ABA therapy at school in Seabrook?

Yes. Alpaca Health therapists provide in-school ABA therapy across Seabrook area school districts including Clear Creek ISD. Your therapist works directly with your child's teachers to apply consistent behavior strategies during lessons and transitions. Each school has its own policies for outside providers, and our team helps you navigate that process. Alpaca Health also offers in-daycare ABA for younger children not yet in school.

How quickly can my child start ABA therapy in Seabrook?

Alpaca Health has no waitlists in Seabrook. After you complete a quick intake form, our team verifies your insurance and matches you with a local BCBA. Most families schedule their first assessment within the same week. Have your child's autism diagnosis paperwork and insurance card ready to move quickly.

Frequently asked questions about ABA therapy & autism

How many hours of ABA therapy does my child need per week?

Your BCBA recommends a weekly hour range from your child's assessment, age, and goals; most children receive 10 to 40 hours of ABA therapy per week. Younger children often start higher, and focused lower-hour plans suit many older kids. This guide to weekly ABA therapy hours shows how BCBAs decide. Start an assessment to get a personalized recommendation.

How long does ABA therapy take to show results?

Many families notice small changes in the first few weeks, like new words or easier transitions. Clearer communication and steadier daily routines usually show within 3 to 6 months, and larger gains in social skills and independence build over 6 to 12 months. Every child moves at their own pace; see how long ABA takes for most families.

What is ABA therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based autism therapy that builds communication, social, and daily living skills through play. A BCBA designs your child's program and an RBT runs the sessions. Most private plans and state Medicaid programs cover it. Here is what ABA therapy costs with and without insurance.

Is ABA therapy harmful?

Modern ABA therapy is safe when a qualified, neurodiversity-affirming provider delivers it. The aversive techniques of decades past are gone from current practice. A good provider never forces compliance, suppresses stimming, or pushes your child to mask, and sessions should look like play your child chose.

What's the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is a master's-level clinician who designs your child's therapy plan and supervises treatment. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works directly with your child in each session, following that plan. Every Alpaca Health family gets both, working as one team.

What happens during an ABA therapy session?

Sessions blend structured teaching with play. Your RBT practices communication, social, and daily routine skills through activities your child enjoys, using toys, books, and real-life moments, and records progress data throughout. Parents join in so strategies carry over after the session, and here is a real in-home session from start to finish.
