What to Look for in an ABA Provider

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.
