Collaborative ABA Services, LLC

What Collaborative ABA Services, LLC does

Collaborative ABA Services, LLC is a Connecticut-based behavioral health practice that specializes in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and adolescents ages 2-18 diagnosed with Autism and other developmental or behavioral disorders. The company operates a single primary clinic in Middletown, CT (770 Saybrook Road, Unit B4), and delivers care through an interdisciplinary model that bundles ABA therapy with occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, diagnostic evaluations, social skills groups, parent/caregiver training, case management, and consultations. It is BHCOE-accredited through 2027, one of only six ABA providers in Connecticut holding that distinction, and is led by founder and Executive Clinical Director Alisha Simpson-Watt (LCSW, BCBA, LBA).

The company generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service clinical billing, with over 80% of families relying on Medicaid-funded insurance; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by plan. Secondary revenue streams include branded merchandise sales (COLLAB MERCH via collaborativeabastore.com), CEU-eligible training workshops and webinars for ABA professionals, and royalties or retail distribution income from the founder's published children's book. Beyond clinical services, Collaborative ABA Services has developed and launched CollabWait, a standalone software platform that provides real-time waitlist position tracking and agency availability updates for families and agencies navigating autism services, indicating a strategic extension from services into productized software.

Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with families and healthcare providers submitting referrals via the website or direct contact. Distribution relies on direct in-person service delivery at the Middletown clinic, supplemented by virtual training delivery, an e-commerce storefront for merchandise, and channel partnerships — most notably a Preferred Partner relationship with RethinkBH and a 2024 strategic partnership with Communicate with Me, Speech Therapy, LLC. The company is a privately held, women-owned LLC (EDWOSB-certified), with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity.
