Yes, families can get government assistance for autism through several programs at the federal, state, and local levels. In New Jersey, options include SSI benefits, Medicaid and CHIP coverage for ABA therapy, and the NJ Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund. Federal tax credits, such as the Child and Dependent Care Credit and medical expense deductions, also help reduce costs. Families can combine these programs with nonprofit grants from organizations like Autism Speaks and MyGOAL Autism to make autism care more affordable. Apple ABA helps families in Roselle and across Union County navigate these resources while providing personalized in-home ABA therapy.
