How many autism providers serve Fillmore County, Nebraska?
We list 11 providers serving Fillmore County, covering parent & family support, early intervention (0–3), ABA therapy, advocacy & legal and diagnostic clinics. Some are based in the county and others serve it from nearby areas. Every listing is reviewed by a person before it is published.
Where can I find ABA therapy in Fillmore County?
ABA providers serving Fillmore County are listed in the ABA therapy section of this page, with phone numbers and websites. Many deliver services in the family's home or at school as well as in a clinic. Ask about waitlists when you call — they vary widely and change month to month.
Are there telehealth autism services for Fillmore County families?

Can autism therapy happen at home in Fillmore County?
4 providers serving Fillmore County deliver services in the family's home. Many children do better in a familiar setting than in an unfamiliar clinic room, and in-home visits remove the travel burden.
Does Medicaid pay for autism services in Nebraska?
Nebraska families can apply to the Autism Waiver, Comprehensive and Developmental Disabilities Adult Day waivers, a Medicaid waiver that can fund respite, therapies and in-home support. The typical wait is No waitlist — the registry was eliminated in June 2025, and your place is usually set by the date you apply — so applying early matters even if you are unsure what services you need. Many waivers also disregard parental income, so families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid often still qualify here.
What if I can't find an autism provider in Fillmore County?
If none of the Fillmore County providers is the right fit, these Nebraska counties currently have the most listed providers: Sarpy County (21), Washington County (21), Dodge County (19), Furnas County (19).
