Idaho ABA Services — Telehealth for Blaine County
Blaine County's remote mountain location and high cost of living make in-person ABA limited. Telehealth ABA parent coaching is often the most practical option. Idaho Medicaid covers ABA statewide. Some Treasure Valley providers offer in-home services for Blaine County families.
Idaho Medicaid covers ABA including telehealth delivery. Sun Valley's high cost of living is a notable barrier — IPUL can help families navigate Medicaid ABA authorization.

Hailey
Autism Society of Idaho — Resource Navigation
For Blaine County's geographically isolated families, the Autism Society of Idaho offers statewide resource navigation and connection to peer support. The Sun Valley area's small population means limited local autism-specific events.
Very rural resort community — online and phone-based support may be more practical than in-person events. Contact Autism Society of Idaho for statewide resources.
