How Much Is ABA Therapy Out of Pocket?

The out-of-pocket cost for ABA therapy can vary widely, depending on several factors such as the provider, the number of therapy hours per week, and whether insurance is involved. On average, ABA therapy sessions can range from $120 to $200 per hour without insurance. Since many children benefit from 10 to 40 hours of therapy weekly, the costs can add up quickly, potentially thousands of dollars each month if paid fully out of pocket.

Fortunately, most health insurance plans in Texas are required to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. The exact amount you’ll pay depends on your plan’s deductible, co-pay, and coverage limits. Some families may also qualify for state-funded programs or grants to help reduce costs.


For those paying out of pocket, many ABA providers, including Steady Strides ABA, offer flexible plans and can guide families toward resources that make therapy more affordable.


At Steady Strides ABA, we’re committed to helping families access high-quality ABA therapy care across Texas without unnecessary financial stress.
