Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Jackson

Who evaluates a Jackson child for special education?

Jackson Public Schools, if your address is inside its boundary. Families in the surrounding suburbs belong to Madison County, Rankin County or other districts. Send a dated written request to the district's special education office and keep a copy.

What does Mississippi Medicaid require for ABA?

Mississippi Medicaid covers autism services for children under 21 through EPSDT. A BCBA licensed by the Mississippi Autism Board directs the program, and assistant analysts and registered behavior technicians work under supervision. Ask the provider whether it is enrolled with your child's Medicaid plan and who requests prior authorization.

Are programs in Ridgeland or Madison worth the drive from Jackson?

Often, if they have openings. Compare weekly drive time on I-55 at your session hour, start date and supervision. Ask whether the provider sends in-home staff into Jackson.

Does Mississippi's autism insurance law apply to state and city employee plans?

The statute's definition of covered policies includes plans for the state and its political subdivisions, and self-insured group arrangements to the extent federal law does not preempt them. Ask your benefits office for the plan's ABA policy in writing.

How do we coordinate ABA with a school schedule?

Ask the ABA program which hours it can staff after school, and ask the school whether any coordination is possible during the day. Share records only with your written consent. The IEP guide covers the school side.
