Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Kearney

Where do I refer a Kearney toddler for early intervention?
Contact the Kearney planning region through ESU 10, or call Nebraska ChildFind toll-free at 1-888-806-6287. You do not need a diagnosis to make a referral.
We live 40 minutes from Kearney. Will anyone provide ABA at home?
Ask each provider for its travel radius in writing. If home sessions are not possible, ask about fewer, longer center days or caregiver coaching that you carry out between visits.
Can Medicaid-funded ABA happen at school?
Nebraska DHHS guidelines recognize school as an allowed place of service for Medicaid ABA. The school still has to agree, and the provider has to coordinate with staff.
Does Nebraska's insurance mandate apply after age 21?
The state law applies to covered individuals under 21. After that, coverage depends on the plan, so ask early if your child is approaching that age.
