ABS Kids, a leading provider of services to children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD), has opened seven new applied behavior
analysis (ABA) therapy centers in the United States so far in 2024.
The organization also anticipates additional growth with dozens of
centers opening by the end of the year.
ABS Kids currently has 35 total centers in California, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Utah, and will expand into South Carolina
later this year.
“Our vision at ABS Kids is to make high-quality, family-centered
ABA therapy accessible across the country,” said ABS Kids President
and Founder Jeff Skibitsky, M.A., BCBA, LBA. “We are excited about
this recent growth, including our expansion into South Carolina,
which is noteworthy because it marks our first facility available
to families in that state. ASD diagnosis rates are rising in recent
years, so it is critical for us to continue realizing our
vision.”
With 1 in 36 children in the U.S. dealing with autism and 1 in
28 reported in South Carolina (as of 2017 data), the need for ASD
services is evident. According to the CDC’s data from its 2023
Community Report on Autism, children born in 2016 were 1.6 times
more likely to receive an ASD diagnosis or ASD special education
classification by four years of age compared to children born in
2012.
“Our centers give families a much-needed option for early
diagnosis and help these children develop new social skills,
prepare for school and participate in engaging learning activities
under the close supervision of our caring providers,” said ABS Kids
CEO Adam Singer, M.D. “These skills help kids reach key milestones
so they are better positioned to transition into adulthood.”
