ABA Therapy That Comes to You in Buffalo
Buffalo is a city that takes care of its own. It’s a place where neighbors show up for each other, and families work hard to get their kids everything they need. When your child needs ABA therapy, the last thing you should have to worry about is fighting traffic on the 190 or figuring out parking near a clinic. Empower ABA brings therapy to your front door, your home, your schedule, your child’s comfort zone.
We deploy Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and trained behavior technicians across Buffalo and Erie County. From the West Side and the Elmwood Village to South Buffalo and Cheektowaga, our therapists are already working with families in your area. ABA therapy delivered at home is more than a convenience — research consistently shows that children make stronger gains when they learn skills in the environments where those skills actually matter.

Our therapists come to your home, which means no commutes and no clinic waiting rooms.
What insurance is accepted for ABA therapy in Buffalo, New York?
We accept most major insurance plans in New York, including Medicaid, Child Health Plus, United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, EmblemHealth, and Aetna. We handle the entire authorization process so you don’t have to. If you’re unsure about your coverage, one phone call to our team is all it takes to find out.
How do I find ABA therapy for my autistic child in Buffalo, NY?
Start by calling us at (844) 222-1173 or submitting an inquiry online. We’ll schedule a consultation, verify your insurance at no cost, and connect your family with a BCBA who will conduct an initial assessment. Most families in Buffalo are able to begin therapy within a few weeks of first contact.
Does Empower ABA accept Medicaid for ABA therapy in Buffalo?
Yes. We accept New York Medicaid and Child Health Plus for ABA therapy in Buffalo. Many families in the area rely on these programs to access care, and our team is experienced in navigating the Medicaid authorization process so there are no unnecessary delays in getting your child started.
What age range does Empower ABA serve in Buffalo?
We work with children from early childhood through adolescence. The earlier a child begins ABA therapy, the greater the potential impact, but it is never too late to start. If you have a developmental concern or a recent diagnosis, reach out sooner rather than later.
Are Empower ABA therapists certified?
Every program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Direct therapy sessions are delivered by trained behavior technicians who work under close BCBA supervision and receive continuous training and support.
Can therapy happen at my home even in winter?
Absolutely. Our therapists are based in and around Western New York and are fully prepared to work year-round, including during Buffalo winters. Sessions take place inside your home, so weather is not a factor in your child’s ability to receive consistent care.
What is the difference between in-home and virtual ABA therapy?
In-home therapy means a therapist comes to your house and works with your child face to face in their natural environment. Virtual therapy is conducted via a secure video platform, with a therapist guiding sessions remotely. Both are effective, and many Buffalo families use a combination of the two depending on the week.
