ABA Spectrum Therapy

What ABA Spectrum Therapy does

ABA Spectrum Therapy, LLC is a privately held, BCBA-owned provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services headquartered in Leander, Texas, founded in 2013. The company serves families of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities in the Greater Austin metropolitan area, delivering individualized therapy programs grounded in evidence-based methodologies, notably a Verbal Behavior approach that emphasizes functional communication over labeling. Its clinical staff includes Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Board Certified Associate Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs), and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), with treatment plans informed by ABLLS-R and VB-MAPP assessments and adjusted continuously based on weekly or daily data collection. The company is co-founded and operated by Jenny Saavedra (Owner | Director of Operations) and Michelle Khatwani (Owner | Clinical Director), both of whom have been working in ABA since 1999-2001.

The service portfolio centers on core ABA therapy with adjacent behavioral consultation and parent training programs, all delivered through physical clinic locations. The company operates clinics in Leander (headquarters) and Austin, with a third clinic in Georgetown scheduled to open Fall 2026. The business model is direct-to-consumer healthcare: families reach the company through its website, phone (512.986.7625), email, or an intake form, and services are billed primarily through in-network insurance relationships with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Cigna/Evernorth. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined via benefits inquiries prior to service initiation. The company maintains no waitlist and explicitly does not turn away families based on a child's age or behavioral complexity, positioning itself as an accessible local provider rather than a narrow specialist.

Go-to-market is executed primarily through content marketing (an educational blog covering autism acceptance, ABA therapy, and family resources), organic search, and community education, with no reseller or third-party distribution channels. ABA Spectrum Therapy has no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model. With 11-50 employees and a single-metro geographic footprint, the company operates at a small, regionally concentrated scale relative to multi-state ABA platform providers.

Revenue model

1. Insurance-Reimbursed ABA Therapy: The primary revenue stream comes from ABA therapy services billed through accepted insurance providers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Cigna/Evernorth. The company conducts insurance benefits inquiries to determine coverage scope before initiating services. Families typically require a medical diagnosis of autism for insurance to cover ABA services.
2. Behavioral Consultation Services: Consulting services provided to families seeking guidance for at-home curriculum development, including formal assessments and individualized treatment planning.
3. Parent Training Programs: Training sessions that equip parents with strategies to support their child's development at home, included as part of the overall family support approach.
