What’s available in Melbourne
Every setting is realistic here
Melbourne is itself a city of 88,000, which means centers, in-home routes, school collaboration and telehealth are all live options rather than theoretical ones. In a place this size the constraint is almost never whether a service exists — it's capacity at any given moment, and that's exactly what we check on the first call.

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Florida Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Florida, and Florida’s autism insurance law reaches private plans issued in the state. Your address changes which providers can reach you — it doesn’t change whether you’re covered.
