ABA providers serving Curry 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.

Can autism therapy happen at home in Curry County?
2 providers serving Curry 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 Oregon?
Oregon families can apply to the K Plan (Community First Choice) and ODDS waivers, a Medicaid waiver that can fund respite, therapies and in-home support. The typical wait is No waitlist for K Plan in-home services, 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.

If none of the Curry County providers is the right fit, these Oregon counties currently have the most listed providers: Multnomah County (21), Washington County (16), Clackamas County (15), Gilliam County (14).
