Private Insurance
Wyoming enacted autism insurance legislation in 2010-2017. Most private health insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder. Coverage details, including age limits and hour caps, vary by plan.
Medicaid
Wyoming Medicaid covers ABA therapy for eligible children with autism under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Many states also have Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that cover autism services for individuals who meet specific criteria.
BCBA Licensure
BCBA certification is recognized but state licensure is not required. When choosing an ABA provider in Wyoming, verify that BCBAs hold current certification from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
Supervision Requirements
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) must work under the supervision of a certified BCBA. Industry standards recommend at least 10-15% BCBA supervision of direct therapy hours. Quality programs often exceed this minimum.
Verify Credentials
You can verify BCBA and RBT credentials on the BACB certificant registry. This free tool confirms current certification status.
Birth to 3 Years
Wyoming's Early Intervention program provides services to infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. Services are provided at no cost to families and may include developmental therapies. Contact your local Early Intervention office for evaluation.
Ages 3-21 (School-Based)
Children ages 3-21 may receive special education services through the public school system under IDEA. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) can include autism-related services. School-based services supplement but typically don't replace private ABA therapy.
