Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Maple Grove

Where can I find ABA therapy for autism near Maple Grove?
MAC Midwest is listed for Maple Grove, and its locations page also shows centers in Hopkins on Whitewater Drive and Fridley on Medtronic Parkway, both reachable from Maple Grove. South of the river, Partners in Excellence in Burnsville works mainly with young autistic children, with ABA, speech and OT in one place. Ask each program which site has room for your child's schedule.
Is there a child therapist in Maple Grove for kids who are not autistic?
Yes, MAC Midwest's outpatient side is not limited to autism. It offers in-person and telehealth therapy for emotional health, communication, daily functioning and behavior, and it runs diagnostic assessments for ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning disorders and communication disorders. That makes it useful when you are not sure whether your child's struggles point to autism, ADHD or something else, since one intake covers the question.
Can we get an autism evaluation for our Maple Grove child by telehealth?
Yes. Caravel Autism Health offers diagnostic evaluations by telehealth across Minnesota and names Maple Grove among the areas it reaches. MAC Midwest completes diagnostic assessments and CMDEs, the broader evaluation Medical Assistance uses to approve EIDBI therapy. Ask whichever clinic you choose to send a written report you can share with ABA programs and your school district.
Does Medical Assistance cover autism therapy in Hennepin County?
Yes. EIDBI covers ABA and three other approved methods for Medical Assistance members under 21 with autism or a related condition, once a CMDE documents medical necessity and the Department of Human Services authorizes services. Hennepin County families choose a managed care plan; for 2027 the choices open to new members are Blue Plus, HealthPartners, Hennepin Health and Medica One Health Plan. Ask your plan whether your chosen ABA center is in network.
Will my Maple Grove employer's insurance pay for ABA?
Often, yes. Minnesota requires plans issued to employers with more than 50 employees to cover the diagnosis and medically necessary care of children under 18 with autism, including ABA, speech, occupational and physical therapy. The plan follows a treatment plan from your child's physician or mental health professional and can ask for an update only every six months. Self-funded employer plans should be checked with HR.
How do I shorten the wait for autism therapy near Maple Grove?
Apply to more than one program in the same week. Start MAC Midwest's Support Now intake, which promises a call within two business days of your completed packet, and contact Partners in Excellence at the same time. Send every program the same diagnosis report, insurance card and the hours you can attend. Ask which site has the earliest opening, and decline the others politely once you accept.
Who do I call in Maple Grove if my child is under 3?
Make a Help Me Grow referral, either through the parent form or by calling 1-866-693-4769. The school district for your address calls back to set up a free developmental evaluation, and toddlers who qualify before turning 3 get Infant and Toddler Intervention. Osseo Area Schools covers all or part of Maple Grove, so many families here hear from Osseo's early childhood team. Services are free regardless of income.
How do I choose an ABA program in Minnesota?
Skip rankings and ask direct questions. Who supervises the plan, and how often do they observe your child? How much parent training is included, and when? Which EIDBI method do they use: ABA, DIR/Floortime, Early Start Denver Model or RDI? How often do they update goals and share progress data? Minnesota requires every EIDBI treatment plan to list goals, baseline measures, session frequency and discharge criteria, so ask to see a sample.
