What’s available in Newark
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Rochester, roughly 27.8 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Newark it means in-home ABA starts sooner and sticks better — with a center added later only if peer goals become the priority.

Newark is one of 7 incorporated places in Wayne County, a county of about 91,000 people. It is the county's largest community.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. New York Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in New York, and New York’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.
