ABA therapy clinics & centers
Everything above is publicly funded or nonprofit. This part is different: these are private therapy providers in Massachusetts.
ABA is one of several approaches families choose, and feelings about it differ a lot — including among autistic adults. These listings exist so you can see what is available near you; they are not a recommendation. Visit in person, ask how a provider handles consent and breaks, check BCBA credentials, and confirm insurance before committing. AuSnap! is not affiliated with any provider and receives nothing for listing them.
