Hello - I'm not sure what you mean by having only 5 months left for Medicaid to cover ABA therapy for your child. Here in NY, although we have to go through "re-certification" annually, our child who is on the spectrum receives unlimited services just as long as it is a "need." I hear AZ has fantastic schools/programs that has covered ABA services too. They also do not limit the years of "needed" services, unless the child actually no longer needs the service. So I guess my question is: Is it Medcaid itself that has limited the services or is it the Program that has limited your child's ABA therapy?
