TACT

What TACT does

TACT (The Autism Community Therapists, LLC) is a privately held Massachusetts LLC founded in 2012 that operates an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy clinic headquartered at 20 Main St., Entrance G, Acton, MA 01720. The company delivers individualized 1:1 ABA therapy to children with autism both in its Acton clinic and in client homes across Massachusetts, supplemented by telehealth-enabled service delivery. Its service portfolio comprises 1:1 ABA Services, Social Skills Programming (small-group peer sessions), School and Community Consultation (behavior-analytic advisory work for public school districts and human service agencies), Parent Education (BCBA-led caregiver training), Functional Behavior Assessment and Treatment Analysis (assessment and function-based intervention for challenging behavior), and Early Intervention (play-based therapy for young children).

TACT's clinical technology is built around evidence-based ABA methodology rather than software: functional behavior assessments, functional analyses, interview-informed synthesized contingency analyses, functional communication training, and the practical functional assessment process are delivered by BCBA-supervised behavior technicians. Operational technology is limited to CentralReach integration for online client enrollment/intake and telehealth-enabled assessment delivery. The clinical team is led by Executive Director Kevin Schlichenmeyer, Senior Clinical Director Serena Bousquet (M.S., BCBA, LABA), Operations Director Joey Tower, Clinical Director Emily Stevens, and Program Director Emily Bergman, alongside additional BCBA/LABA-credentialed clinicians. TACT holds Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP) membership and BACB Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Approved Provider status, and operates an Employee Scholarship Program that funds peer-reviewed publication and conference presentation by staff.

The business model is professional services revenue, primarily via insurance reimbursement from multiple accepted health plans for 1:1 ABA therapy, with out-of-pocket or negotiated arrangements for non-covered plans. A secondary revenue stream is institutional school and community consultation sold to public school districts and human service agencies across Massachusetts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with monthly billing and a 48-hour inquiry response SLA. Go-to-market is sales-led through a website-hosted contact form, phone/email intake, organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and peer-reviewed professional visibility. TACT operates exclusively in Massachusetts with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or expansion beyond the state.
