How we list and check

Every listing on this guide comes from a public page, carries the date it was read, and follows the same order on every county. This page is the rulebook.

Where listings come from

  • Agencies (Early Intervention programs, case management agencies, Medicaid regional organizations, school districts, hospitals, parent groups): the agency's own website, read on 9 November 2026. A phone number is printed only when it appears on that agency's own page. If an agency publishes no number, the guide shows none and links to the page instead.
  • Providers (ABA and behavioral therapy): the state's Pediatric Behavioral Therapies provider list, read 18 October 2026, plus each provider's own website for the places it serves, home or center, ages and insurance. A provider is on a county list when the state list or its own site names that county or a city in it, or says it serves the whole state.

The order of a list

  1. Budding Futures ABA Therapy, the guide's sponsor, first on the lists it qualifies for.
  2. Everyone else in alphabetical order. No ratings, no ranking, no "best".

What a listing says

For an agency: its name as it spells it, what it does for families, its phone if its own page prints one, and the source. For a provider: its name, whether it works at home, in a center or both, the city of its office, the areas the state list prints for it, its website, its phone only when the provider prints the same number on its own site, and tags when its own site states no waitlist or Spanish. Nothing is written about an organization that its own page does not support.

Dates and corrections

Each page shows when its facts were last checked. When a program changes or a number is wrong, send a correction; the page is fixed and the date updated. Lists are re-read against the state list when the state publishes a new one.

What the guide does not do

  • It does not endorse any service or confirm an opening for a child.
  • It does not give medical or legal advice. Questions about a diagnosis go to a clinician; questions about a benefit go to the agency.
  • It does not accept payment for listings beyond the single marked sponsorship.
