You have been doing this without enough help.
Raising a child with autism in Anchorage is not like raising one anywhere else. The winters are long, the provider list is short, and for too many families the answer to “where do we go for ABA therapy?” has been: nowhere close, nowhere available.
Kennedy ABA is changing that. We come to your home, no commute through the cold, no clinic waiting room, no gap between where your child feels safe and where their therapy happens.

No waiting room. No commute. Your therapist meets your child where they actually live.

Family partnership from day one.
Parent coaching is not an add-on. It is core to how we work. You are the most important person in your child’s life, and we build on that.
We do not turn away complex cases.
Significant behavioral challenges, limited communication, co-occurring diagnoses. We have experience across the full spectrum and we do not refer out the families who need us most.
Military families welcomed.
Anchorage is home to JBER. We accept all Tricare plans and understand the coordination challenges military families face, including when orders change.

Anchorage School District Coordination
The Anchorage School District is the largest in Alaska, serving more than 44,000 students. It operates special education programs and participates in Alaska’s Medicaid School-Based Services program.
Kennedy ABA works alongside ASD, not around it. We align therapy goals with school-based supports, communicate with teachers, and attend IEP meetings when families invite us. One consistent program across home and school, not two separate efforts.

ABA therapy insurance coverage in Anchorage, Alaska
How Anchorage families access ABA therapy
Most Anchorage families pay little to nothing out of pocket for ABA therapy. Alaska’s autism insurance law requires coverage for ABA services, and Kennedy ABA handles all the paperwork so you can focus on your child.
If you have health insurance in Anchorage, whether through your employer, the Marketplace, or a private plan, Alaska law (Senate Bill 74, effective 2013) requires coverage for ABA therapy for individuals under 21, with no annual dollar cap. This includes diagnosis, therapy sessions, and parent training.
Anchorage families with Alaska Medicaid or Denali KidCare have access to medically necessary ABA services with no annual dollar cap, covered through the EPSDT program.
Division of Public Assistance, Anchorage (University Center)
4001 Ingra Street, Suite 131, Anchorage, AK 99503
Phone: 1-800-478-7778 | Alaska Medicaid Recipient Helpline: 1-800-780-9972
If your child has significant needs but your family income is too high for regular Medicaid, Alaska’s TEFRA program allows your child to qualify for Medicaid coverage based only on their own income, not your household income. This covers ABA therapy and other medically necessary services for children under 19 who meet disability and level-of-care requirements.
We verify your benefits before your child’s first session. We submit prior authorizations, handle all paperwork with your insurance company, and let you know upfront what’s covered. Most Anchorage families start therapy within 2–4 weeks of their first call.
