Autism Business Association Compassionate Community of Autism Providers Putting Families First Our Mission To ensure that families with children with autism can access evidencebased applied behavior analysis ABA treatment by proactively addressing issues that may impact the ability of ABA companies to deliver these services. The Autism Business Association was formed in 2015 when companies providing Applied Behavior Analysis ABA services for individuals with Autism saw the need to work together to ensure that families of children with Autism could have continued access to evidencebased ABA treatment despite the changing political and regulatory environment. Owners and directors of local companies headquartered in Orange County and Los Angeles began meeting together regularly to organize proactive efforts to ensure that ABA companies maintain the ability to practice and that families continue to receive the highquality ABA services they deserve. Since its inception The Autism Business Association has grown to include members from companies across 35 states and 7 countries.
