What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Cuyahoga County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and oversees your child's plan. Ask about their experience with your child's age and needs, and whether they offer parent training to support learning at home.

Also consider the provider's approach to therapy-should it be play-based, naturalistic, or structured? Our free service pre-screens providers for these qualities, so you can feel confident in your match.
