What to Look for in an ABA Provider
When choosing an ABA provider, prioritize those led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all therapy. Ask about their experience with your child's specific age and needs, and ensure they use data-driven, compassionate methods. Look for providers who involve parents in training and goal-setting, and who offer flexible scheduling. Also verify they accept your insurance or Medicaid and have availability that matches your timeline.
