Our providers are local, thoughtful, and hands-on. They listen, get to know your family, and shape care around what’s best for your child.
The providers we work with bring therapy to you, wherever your child is most comfortable.
That might mean home, daycare, school, or virtual sessions. Our flexible care model ensures that therapy integrates into your family’s daily routine, rather than disrupting it.
Our network is made up of independent, local clinicians who prioritize collaboration, not control, so you stay in charge of your child’s care.
Get Started
Waiting months for ABA shouldn’t be the norm. We help families connect with the right provider in just a few days.
We’ll find a local provider with availability now, not months from now, who fits your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.
We’ll introduce you directly, and your provider takes it from there. Most families schedule their first meeting or assessment within the same week.
Small, independent clinics, founded and run by the clinicians who work with your child.
“We have definitely had previous experience with ABA. It was very different than this. … They put together a specific plan for him, and it’s constantly shifting and changing based on how he’s doing, even day to day.”

“I’ve been searching for an ABA facility, but I couldn’t find one that would take our kids. … I contacted Alpaca and talked to Chris, and it was like a match made in heaven.”

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-backed therapy that helps children develop communication, behavior, social, and daily living skills. It’s one of the most widely recommended therapies for children with autism and developmental differences.
Most providers in our network offer care in the home, school, or daycare centers. We also support community-based or virtual sessions depending on your location and needs.
After you complete our intake form, we’ll work to match you with an available provider in your area. Families often schedule an initial assessment within the same week.
We will require a referral from your child’s doctor. Our intake form includes a release of information so we can help coordinate with your pediatrician and simplify the process.
We accept many major insurance plans, including Medicaid, Tricare, Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and others. If your plan isn’t currently accepted, we’ll help you understand your options and work hard to get in-network with your insurance quicker than you can get off other ABA providers’ waitlists.
Costs depend on your insurance plan. We verify your benefits before therapy starts, so you will know what your plan covers and what you would pay out of pocket, and our ABA therapy cost guide explains what families typically pay with and without coverage.
If you have concerns about your child’s development, an evaluation is the first step toward a diagnosis and services. You can begin with a free online screening on our autism evaluation page, and our team offers diagnostic evaluations once your coverage is verified.
Providers in our network support children and young adults from birth through age 21, and our ABA therapy services range from early intervention for toddlers to skill building for teens.
We match families with local, independent providers in a growing number of states and cities, with in-home, school, and virtual options depending on your area.
Every provider in our network runs their own independent practice, and you can read about each one in our provider directory. We match you based on availability, location, insurance, and your child’s needs.
