How does your free matching service work?
You start by telling us a little about your child's age, insurance, and therapy preferences. We then use that information to connect you with vetted, BCBA-led ABA providers in Worcester and Worcester County who have availability and accept your coverage. There is no cost to you-we are funded by providers who pay to be listed.
