HI-5 ABA
Hi-5 ABA franchises specialize in providing behavioral therapy services to individuals with developmental disabilities, primarily autism spectrum disorder, using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy delivered by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and trained technicians. The business model centers on a proprietary system that includes clinical and operational support, centralized billing, administrative services, and marketing guidelines, with services provided in clients' homes, third-party settings, or approved clinics. They target families of children and young adults aged 18 months to 22 years eligible for insurance-reimbursed ABA services through public or private payers like Medicare and Medicaid.
