What makes SOS the best ABA franchise?

The ABA Market

Currently, the ABA therapy industry is dominated by private equity groups. In fact, Market research suggests that nine large multi-site ABA companies operate an estimated 38% market share of all ABA centers in the US.

Traditional PE models often focus on rapid consolidation and profit margins. Their fixation on profit has lead to increased analyst caseloads, reduced parent involvement, and therefore, reduced the quality of services kids receive. These cookie-cutter profit machines are turning most ABA clinics into the equivalent of fast food therapy.

Success On The Spectrum's Solutions

Unlike private equity-owned ABA companies that often prioritize profits over people, each Success On The Spectrum location is individually owned and operated by passionate entrepreneurs who are deeply involved in the day-to-day management of their centers. This hands-on ownership model ensures that every clinic maintains the highest standards in clinical care, staff engagement, and operational efficiency.

When operators are actively present, they build stronger teams, provide better supervision, and create a more supportive environment for children with autism. This not only leads to better client outcomes but also ensures the financial health and long-term success of the business. It’s this personal investment in quality and care that makes Success On The Spectrum the best ABA franchise opportunity for those who want to make a meaningful impact while building a sustainable business.
