What to look for in an ABA provider

Ensure the provider conducts a thorough assessment and creates a personalized treatment plan with measurable goals. Also, check that they accept your insurance and have experience with your child's age and needs.
Ask about parent training, progress reporting, and how they handle challenging behaviors. A good provider will collaborate with you, respect your family's values, and prioritize your child's comfort and growth. Our service only works with vetted, BCBA-led providers to give you peace of mind.
