The August 2026 CMS Medicaid ABA toolkit is guidance for states. It does not mandate ABA, endorse ABA as the only treatment, or cut EPSDT. The official name is the State Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Toolkit. CMS posted it on August 4, 2026. This paper stays inside that document and the numbers CMS published with it. It is not a ranking of therapies. It is not a clinic ad. Spend and caseload are two different lines Med
