About ABAaccess
ABAaccess is a parent-built tool that crowdsources real wait times for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy across the United States. Providers rarely publish what their actual waitlists look like — we let families fill that gap.
How it works
- Parents submit a short anonymous report — provider, location, when they joined the waitlist, and when (or if) services began.
- We compute the wait time in weeks, then aggregate by provider and location.
- The directory shows the mean and range so a single outlier doesn't skew the number.
How averages are calculated
For each provider we display the mean wait time as the headline number, plus the median and range for context. A small confidence indicator reflects how many reports back the average — three is okay, ten is solid.
A few honest disclaimers
- Wait times are self-reported and not independently verified.
- ABAaccess is not affiliated with any ABA provider.
- This is a tool for comparison, not a substitute for talking to a provider's intake team.
Why you need an account
Submitting a report or review requires a free account. It keeps the data trustworthy, lets us credit your contribution as First L. (last names stay private), and powers your share link so you can rally other parents — and earn points and badges while you're at it. See the leaderboard.
Privacy
We use your email only for account sign-in and notifications. Public credit on reports and reviews shows your first name and the initial of your last name — nothing more. Please don't include identifying details about your child in submissions.
