What’s available in Farmington
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Peoria, roughly 20.5 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Farmington it means in-home ABA starts sooner and sticks better — with a center added later only if peer goals become the priority.

Which rules apply to you
Farmington spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Fulton County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Illinois Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Illinois, and Illinois’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.
