In-Home ABA That Fits Seamlessly Into Your Family's Life
In-Home ABA That Fits Your Life
Care at Home
The providers we work with bring therapy to you, wherever your child is most comfortable.
Seamless Support
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.
Partners in Care
Our network is made up of independent, local clinicians who prioritize collaboration, not control, so you stay in charge of your child’s care.
Support for the Full Pediatric Age Range
From Toddlers to Teens
Many ABA centers stop care when a child turns 8. Not us. We support the full pediatric age range, toddlers to age 21.
Growing Together
Your child deserves more than short-term support. With Alpaca, they can build a long-term relationship with a provider who understands their growth over time and adapts care as their needs evolve.
Tools to Help You Thrive
We also support your whole family with educational events and resources, including parent webinars, advocacy toolkits, and grant guides.
More Care. Less Wait.
Faster Access to Care
Waiting months for ABA shouldn’t be the norm. At Alpaca, we help families connect with the right provider in just a few days.
Waitlist-Free Care
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.
Support Every Step
Ready to get started? We’ll handle the paperwork, help coordinate referrals, and walk you through every step.

Why Independent Clinics Matter
The providers we work with aren’t part of a large corporation. They’re small, fully independent clinics, founded and operated by the very clinicians who work with your child.We don’t tell them how to do their job. In fact, we stay out of it entirely.Your child’s provider is free to make care decisions based solely on what’s best for your family. Not based on company policy. Not based on quotas. Not based on insurance rules. Clinical decisions happen between you and your provider. That’s it.
What We Do (and Don’t) Do
We support the people who support your child. That means we handle the behind-the-scenes work — billing, scheduling, insurance paperwork — so providers can spend less time on admin and more time on care.We’re not the provider. We’re not the boss. We’re the scaffolding.Our role is to make it easier for independent providers to do what they became providers to do: help your child grow, learn, and thrive.

Local, Independent Providers
Every provider in our network runs their own practice. That means no corporate rules, no long waitlists, and care that puts your child first. We’ll help you find a provider near you who has availability now and offers in-home care for kids and young adults, ages 0 to 21.
Our Latest Insights
Frequently asked questions about ABA therapy
What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-backed therapy that helps children develop communication, behavior, social, and daily living skills. It’s one of the most widely recommended therapies for children with autism and developmental differences.
Where does therapy happen?
Most providers in our network offer care in the home, school, or daycare centers. We also support community-based or virtual sessions depending on your location and needs.
How fast can we get started?
After you complete our intake form, we’ll work to match you with an available provider in your area. Families often schedule an initial assessment within the same week.
Do I need a referral?
We will require a referral from your child’s doctor. Our intake form includes a release of information so we can help coordinate with your pediatrician and simplify the process.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept many major insurance plans, including Medicaid, Tricare, Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and others. If your plan isn’t currently accepted, we’ll help you understand your options and work hard to get in-network with your insurance quicker than you can get off other ABA providers’ waitlists.
How much does ABA therapy cost?
Costs depend on your insurance plan. We verify your benefits before therapy starts, so you will know what your plan covers and what you would pay out of pocket, and our ABA therapy cost guide explains what families typically pay with and without coverage.
How do I get an autism evaluation for my child?
If you have concerns about your child’s development, an evaluation is the first step toward a diagnosis and services. You can begin with a free online screening on our autism evaluation page, and our team offers diagnostic evaluations once your coverage is verified.
What ages does Alpaca Health serve?
Providers in our network support children and young adults from birth through age 21, and our ABA therapy services range from early intervention for toddlers to skill building for teens.
Where is Alpaca Health available?
We match families with local, independent providers in a growing number of states and cities, with in-home, school, and virtual options depending on your area.
How do I choose the right ABA provider?
Every provider in our network runs their own independent practice, and you can read about each one in our provider directory. We match you based on availability, location, insurance, and your child’s needs.
