What to look for in an ABA provider
When choosing an ABA provider in Bernalillo County, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who leads the team and designs individualized treatment plans. Ensure the provider uses evidence-based, positive reinforcement techniques and prioritizes your child's dignity and autonomy. Ask about parent training, data tracking, and how they collaborate with schools or other therapists.
Also consider logistics: location, session times, and whether they accept your insurance. Our free service pre-screens providers for these criteria, so you only meet with vetted, qualified options.
