Center-based programs offer structured settings with peer interaction and specialized resources. Telehealth ABA is also available from some providers, offering flexibility for busy families or those in rural parts of the county.

What to look for in an ABA provider

Look for a provider led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises a team of registered behavior technicians (RBTs). Ensure they use data-driven, individualized plans and offer family training. Ask about their experience with your child's specific needs, such as communication delays or challenging behaviors. A good provider will also coordinate with your child's school or other therapists.
