Hi Colleen.
I actually work for an ABA company right now part time and that is what helped me grow my interest in this project. Because of that, Im not able to inquire within. However, I have pondered the idea of calling as a parent or caregiver to ABA programs and ask questions that way to get my information. Thank you for the idea & your support of it!

Vanessa,
I love this idea, and think it is commendable of you that you are doing something like this in your area. Have you thought of reaching out to anyone who provides ABA therapy or something similar in your area? They may be able to help, or give advice on the right path to take. In our area, we only have a few certified ABA Agencies that can work within the school system, and can go into child care centers (I've worked with one specifically and it has done wonders for the child we care for). They are a fabulous resource.
I hope this helps.

Hello!
I am interested in developing and opening a center for children with autism. Can anyone share any resources they may have for this? Does anyone know if there are grants or scholarships available for funding for this?
Thank you in advance!
