Catalyst Behavior Solutions

What Catalyst Behavior Solutions does

Catalyst Behavior Solutions is a private, for-profit Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services company that operates seven clinic locations across five U.S. states (Florida, Minnesota, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah) and serves children with autism spectrum disorder and other behavioral or developmental disabilities. Its service portfolio includes individualized ABA therapy, early-intervention programming for children as young as two, school-age therapy, and parent-and-family guidance and training, supplemented by Catalyst Academy, a center-based sub-brand that combines ABA with play-based peer socialization. Each plan is designed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and implemented by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), using evidence-based methods endorsed by the US Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association, with modalities including Natural Environment Teaching (NET) and child-led play-based learning.

The company's technology stack is non-proprietary and operationally focused: CentralReach is used for ABA program forms and client management, and LSQ Portal powers online consultation requests. There is no proprietary software product, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML components. Clinical delivery is in-person at clinic facilities, with marketing driven by SEO-optimized blog content on early intervention, parent education, and ABA techniques, plus a central intake phone line and online consultation request forms.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance reimbursement on a per-session basis, with most major commercial health plans accepted; Medicaid was added as a payer at Texas locations in February 2026 (Florida explicitly does not accept Medicaid). Co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles are collected at time of service, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer: families self-refer or are referred in, complete an intake that verifies insurance benefits, and schedule an initial assessment. Ownership is founder-operated/private with no disclosed parent company, private-equity sponsor, or institutional venture funding in the source materials.
