ZODU accepts most major insurance plans for school-based ABA therapy, including Florida Medicaid managed care plans. Our team handles the authorization process, paperwork, school engagement, and coordination — so you can focus on your child, not the bureaucracy.
We confirm benefits, secure authorization, engage the school, and schedule your child’s first school-based session — usually within days of your consultation.
Therapy begins in the classroom. We track real progress with measurable goals tied to the IEP. The school, the family, and ZODU stay in sync. Your child is never alone.
We listen. You tell us about your child, your family, your school situation, the IEP, and what is not working in the classroom. We answer questions about school-based ABA, insurance, school coordination, and what to expect.
Our team handles the assessment, authorization, school engagement (with your written consent), IEP alignment, scheduling, and BCBA + RBT assignment for the classroom. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst designs your child's care plan in coordination with the school team.

“Insurance and coordination with the school felt impossible. ZODU handled all of it. We finally feel like our child has a real team in his corner.”
“The school had stopped calling with progress and started calling with problems. ZODU stepped in. Within a semester, our daughter was meeting IEP goals again.”
“Our son’s teacher was overwhelmed. ZODU brought a calm, trained team into the classroom and the whole dynamic changed. The school noticed too.”
Schedule a free consultation. We answer your questions, review insurance options, discuss your child’s current school situation and IEP, and explain how school-based ABA works. Most families have their first school-based session within 2–4 weeks.
With your written consent, ZODU engages the school’s special education team, reviews the IEP, and embeds school-based ABA support that aligns with classroom routines and educational goals. We participate in IEP meetings when invited and helpful.
Yes — most Florida Medicaid managed care plans (including Sunshine Health and Aetna Better Health) and many commercial plans cover school-based ABA therapy for children with autism. Our team verifies your specific benefits during the consultation.
An existing IEP is helpful — we build ABA support around it, not against it. ZODU does not replace the school’s services. We add the behavior-specific structure your child needs to succeed in the classroom.
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is the master-level clinician who assesses your child, designs the care plan, coordinates with the school, and oversees the therapy. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is the trained therapist who works directly with your child in the classroom, supervised by the BCBA.
Frequency depends on your child’s care plan, IEP goals, and authorization. Some students benefit from daily school-based support; others need part-time. Your BCBA designs the schedule that fits.
We respond within 1 hour during business hours, and the next business morning for submissions received in the evening.
