If you're a parent navigating autism therapy options, it can feel overwhelming to choose the right ABA provider. But not all ABA practices follow the same standards—and the differences can have a major impact on your child’s progress and well-being.

In this free webinar, Board Certified Behavior Analyst Ethan Brewer will guide families through what high-quality ABA should look like, and what warning signs might indicate it's time to look elsewhere. Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, Ethan will walk through:

  • Green Flags that show your provider is doing things right—like individualized goals, collaboration with parents, and ethical use of reinforcement.
  • 🚩 Red Flags to watch out for—such as cookie-cutter programs, lack of supervision, or overly punitive practices.
  • 🧩 Your Rights as a Parent and what questions to ask when evaluating a provider.
  • 🤝 How to advocate for care that truly centers your child.

This session is designed to empower parents with the tools and knowledge to make confident, informed decisions about ABA care. Whether you're just starting out or looking to make a change, this is for you.
