What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and supervises all programming. Ask about the provider's experience with your child's age and specific needs, and whether they use play-based or naturalistic teaching methods. A good provider will also offer parent training and ongoing communication.

We vet all providers in our network to ensure they meet Ohio licensing and ethical standards, so you can feel confident in your match.
