Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I a parent trying to relocate to Georgia, Atlanta or Stone mountain area. I was wondering if ABA is paid by medicaid for children over the age of three. Peferrable 4 and 5 year olds in your state. Come someone one this list send me information privately of schools districts to avoid. Who the best and worse.

If the service coor. is not familiar with this manual, it is in the fiscal policies just issued for July, 2003 to June, 2004. It is near the end.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 They now have “guidelines” which does not include paying $7.00 per hour. I too had BCW paying up to 20.00 per hour for a teacher who was also aba therapist but as soon as the guidelines came out, (thankfully my daughter was already 3) they stopped. Prior to that I sort of depended on the players in each area. terry Re: Re: Medicaid and ABA? BCW does do ABA, they did for me, they also paid my therapist $7 per hour.
