ABA Therapy in Arkansas
Arkansas has been expanding its support for families seeking ABA therapy. The state's Medicaid program covers ABA therapy for eligible individuals, and private insurance coverage has been growing. Arkansas's ABA provider network is concentrated in the Little Rock metropolitan area, with growing availability in Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and Jonesboro. The Dennis Developmental Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is the state's primary resource for autism diagnosis and treatment. Arkansas's rural geography presents unique challenges for ABA service delivery, leading to increased use of telehealth ABA services.
