What’s available in Kent
A center is a normal commute from here

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Ohio Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Ohio, and Ohio’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.
