Behavioral Dimensions

What Behavioral Dimensions does

Behavioral Dimensions (BDI), founded in 1997 in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, is a privately held for-profit behavioral healthcare provider that delivers in-home Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children with autism and related developmental conditions, primarily in Minnesota and South Carolina. The company's flagship product is Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI), a 35-40 hour per week in-home program built on a proprietary curriculum of more than 120 structured programs spanning learning-to-learn, imitation, receptive and expressive language, and social play skill domains, supported by teaching methodologies including Discrete Trial Training, Situational Teaching, Functional Communication Training, and Scripted Routines. Beyond EIBI, the portfolio includes Focused Assessment and Behavioral Supports (FABS) for children ages 6-16 with unsafe behaviors, Positive Behavioral Supports for Caregivers (PBSC), Short-Term Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (STACT) delivered via telehealth for adolescents ages 8-20 with mental health conditions, comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluations, and research and data analytics services led by a Ph.D.-level psychologist.

The company operates on a managed services revenue model: clinical services are reimbursed through private insurance, medical assistance, and Minnesota's EIDBI program under Qualified Supervising Professional (QSP) and CMDE provider credentials, while secondary revenue streams come from direct-pay caregiver and educator training courses priced at $150 and $500 respectively. Service delivery is overwhelmingly in-home with a growing telehealth layer, supported by 23 licensed and certified ABA professionals (BCBAs, BCaBAs, LPCCs) and a leadership team with significant tenure. Customer acquisition combines healthcare provider referrals, insurance network participation, organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), Google reviews, and an SEO-driven blog. The company holds a 2023 Minnesota Department of Human Services Commissioner's Circle of Excellence Award for its Critical Care Unit for Behavioral Supports (CCUBS) program with Dakota County and maintains HIPAA compliance via Compliancy Group verification.

The business is owned and operated by President Jay O'Neill, who co-founded BDI in 1997; the firm has remained privately held with no disclosed external investors, no M&A activity, and no parent company. With 101-250 employees and operations concentrated in two states, Behavioral Dimensions functions as a regional specialty provider rather than a national platform, distinguished by unusually strong staff retention (23 employees with 10+ years tenure, 11 with 20+ years) that anchors its clinical continuity.
