What to look for in an ABA provider

Choosing a provider is a big decision. Look for providers with certified BCBAs who supervise all therapy and use evidence-based practices. A quality provider should conduct a thorough assessment and create a personalized plan with measurable goals. They should also involve you as a partner, offering regular progress updates and parent training.

Ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific challenges. Also, verify they accept your insurance or Medical Assistance. Our free service pre-screens providers for these qualifications, saving you time and ensuring a good fit.
