Telehealth options are also available, allowing live coaching and parent training from your own home. Whether you live in Sarasota, North Port, or a rural area, our matching service can find a provider that offers the setting best suited to your family.

What to Look for in an ABA Provider

Look for providers led by a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) who designs individualized treatment plans. Ask about supervision ratios, parent training, and how progress is measured. A good provider prioritizes your child's dignity, uses positive reinforcement, and respects neurodiversity.

Also consider location, hours, and whether they accept your insurance. Our free matching service pre-screens providers in Sarasota County to ensure they meet these standards, saving you time and effort.
