What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Wicomico County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with experience in early intervention, school readiness, or the specific challenges your child faces. Ask about their approach to parent training, data collection, and how they collaborate with your child's school or other therapists.

Also consider logistics: location-whether in Salisbury or a nearby town-session availability, and whether they accept your insurance. A respectful, family-centered provider will listen to your goals and adjust the plan as your child grows.
