The business is an established, profitable autism care (ABA) therapy business in the attractive South Florida market. There is significant demand for this line of service given the increasing prevalent of autism diagnosis. The typical age range served is 2-18 years old.

The business has an active contract with all major private insurance companies, as well as Medicaid, and has a strong referral network with pediatricians and psychologists in the area. The business is recurring in nature with each client staying in therapy services for more than 2 years on average.

The ABA therapy market is rapidly growing, driven by the increasing prevalence of autism diagnosis. Today, approximately 1 in 30 children is diagnosed with autism, up from about 1 in 150 just 2 decades ago. ABA therapy is a proven form of therapy service that helps children learn new skills, and manage challenging behaviors. It is mandated to be covered by insurance in all 50 states, so there is very little self pay component to the service, making it very resilient across economic cycles.

The company currently has a robust pipeline of patients waiting to be served. The key to unlock the growth potential in the business is through continued focus on hiring / retaining qualified staff to serve the unmet need.
