For Managed Care Plans, Regional Centers & School Districts
ABA Access Centers are not only better for families. They are structurally better for the systems that fund children's care.
The Cost Comparison
The math is straightforward. Traditional one-to-one ABA therapy costs approximately $87,500 per child per year at standard Medi-Cal rates. An ABA Access Center delivers the same authorized hours — 35 per week, 50 weeks per year — at approximately $38,500 per child per year. That is a 56% reduction in cost per child, with the same clinical evidence base and the same authorization framework.
​
For a single 60-child center, the system-level savings exceed $2.9 million annually compared to funding the same children in one-to-one placements.
What This Means for Your Organization
Waitlist Reduction
Each center removes 60 children from your waitlist immediately, with capacity to scale across multiple locations.
Quarterly Outcome Reporting
Every child's progress is measured and reported quarterly across standardized domains, providing the clinical documentation your quality assurance and care coordination teams require.
Workforce Efficiency
The traditional model requires 72 practitioners to serve 60 children. The ABA Access Center model requires 17–18. In states where BCBA shortages are severe, this is not an optimization — it is the only viable path to scale.
EPSDT Compliance
Every Medicaid-enrolled child under 21 is entitled to medically necessary ABA services. When families cannot access those services due to provider shortages, the managed care plan bears both the compliance risk and the human cost. ABA Access Centers close that gap.
Solving the Provider Shortage — Structurally
The shortage of ABA practitioners in underserved communities is not a hiring problem. It is a structural one. There are not enough BCBAs in the pipeline to staff the traditional one-to-one model at the scale the crisis demands.
​
ABA Access Centers solve this at the architectural level. By restructuring how practitioners are deployed — not how many are recruited — the model multiplies the impact of every clinician in the system.
​
Traditional 1:1 Model:
-
1 BCBA + 4 RBTs = 5 children served.
-
To serve 60 children: 12 BCBAs, 60 RBTs, 72 total practitioners.
ABA Access Center Model:
-
1 BCBA + 4 RBTs = 16 children served.
-
To serve 60 children: 2–3 BCBAs, 15 RBTs, 17–18 total practitioners.
​
That is 75% fewer practitioners delivering the same authorized hours to the same number of children. This is how you scale access in a workforce-constrained environment.
