What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) who lead the clinical team. Ask about staff-to-child ratios, parent training opportunities, and how they measure progress. A quality provider will create an individualized treatment plan and adjust goals as your child grows.

Also consider whether the provider offers the settings and hours you need - in-home, center-based, or telehealth - and if they accept your insurance. Our free matching service pre-vets providers for these criteria so you can feel confident in your choice.
