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 supervises all therapy. The provider should conduct a thorough assessment and create a personalized treatment plan with measurable goals. Ask about their experience with your child's age group, the ratio of therapists to clients, and how they involve parents in training and progress updates.

Also confirm that the provider accepts your insurance plan or Texas Medicaid. A good provider will be transparent about wait times, scheduling, and how they handle challenging behaviors. Our matching service only partners with BCBA-led providers, so you can feel confident in the options we present.
