We are not a clinic - we are a no-cost referral network that connects you to ABA providers in Honolulu County, from Honolulu to Kapolei and beyond. Many families use private insurance or Hawaii's Med-QUEST to cover services, and we help you find providers who accept your plan.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Hawaii

Hawaii's Medicaid program, Med-QUEST, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21. The state also has an autism insurance mandate (Hawaii Revised Statutes § 431:10A-116.3) requiring many commercial health plans to cover medically necessary autism treatments, including ABA, with no annual or lifetime dollar caps.

If you have a private insurance plan or Med-QUEST, our team can pre-screen providers to find ones in Honolulu County who are in-network or willing to work with your specific coverage. We also help families navigate the initial authorization process often required by Hawaii insurers.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Honolulu County

Honolulu County offers a range of ABA settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, while center-based programs provide structured peer interaction and access to specialized materials. Many providers also offer telehealth sessions for parent coaching or direct therapy, which can be especially convenient for families in more rural parts of the island.

From urban Honolulu to communities like Ewa Beach, Mililani, and Kaneohe, you can find providers who deliver services at home, at a clinic, or via a hybrid model. Our matching service helps you filter by setting preference so you get options that align with your daily routine.

What to look for in an ABA provider

Look for a provider led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who oversees individualized treatment plans. In Hawaii, BCBAs must be licensed by the state, so verify credentials. Ask about experience with your child's age group and specific goals - whether that's communication, daily living skills, or reducing challenging behaviors.

Also consider the provider's availability for parent training, data collection methods, and how they incorporate family values. A good fit means the provider communicates openly, respects your family's cultural background, and coordinates with other professionals like speech therapists or school teams. Our matching service pre-screens providers for these qualities before introducing them to you.
